Our Shepherd God

Commentators emphasize that this verse describes a deeply personal and privileged relationship. God is not just a distant deity; He is 'our God.' We are the 'sheep of his hand,' meaning He personally provides for, protects, and guides His people with special, fatherly care. This intimate relationship is the very reason for our worship.
