Psalm 23 which was written by David! When only a boy, David was a shepherd as he was the youngest of 8 sons and his father was from Bethlehem. David had already been chosen by the Lord to be a great man amongst the Israelites and was "Godly" He likened the Lord as a Shepherd because he knew that a shepherd looks after his sheep and stands watch over them. He likened himself as a sheep who are normally dependent on the shepherd for their protection and sheep become used to the voice of their shepherd and will normally follow him. Sheep prefer to drink water from still pools rather than from a running river hence the significance of being led beside the still waters and being made to lie down in green pastures (Lord providing him with food) David realised that (The Lords') his shepherds' rod and staff were a comfort to him as they offered protection against any one who wanted to harm him.
Psalm 23 is known as the most beautiful Psalm

Psalm 23 - "The Lord is my shepherd, ..."
Check out Psalm 22 while you're at it, lot's of Messianic prophecies in it, and it begins "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" One of the reasons Jesus said this on the cross was to direct our attention to this psalm which contains many prophecies about Christ!
God bless!
