Psalms 24:3

[Maku]

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 24:3

Can someone tell me what it means exactly... I think I have a good idea, but I think it's an interesting verse and I'd like to know.

 

[ChristineES]

I'll give it a shot. God is David's Shepherd. A rod and a staff are what shepherds use to keep the sheep going in the right direction. The staff half will bring back a sheep going the wrong way, or help bring him up when he falls into a hole. The rod half is used to encourage the sheep, by pushing on him to go the right direction. In other words, discipline. Discipline obviously comforted David.

Sounds good, I'm thinking about that for a tattoo

Nice...

I love tattoos and have some myself. I have yet to get my first religious one though. Where you thinking of getting the verse tattooed on yourself or would it be some sort of picture with a reference to the verse?

 

[GundamZero]

I think you ment Psam 23:4, not Psam 24:3.

Anyway, I think ChristineES has got it. I have no objections.
