God as the Tender Shepherd
Commentators explain that the prayer "Be their shepherd" and "bear them up" uses rich shepherd imagery. It's a plea for God to not only feed and nourish His people spiritually but also to carry the weak and struggling, just as a shepherd carries a lamb. This reveals a God of tender, personal, and supportive care for His people in all circumstances.
