psalms 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

psalms 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

2. green pastures--or, "pastures of tender grass," are mentioned, not in respect to food, but as places of cool and refreshing rest.
the still waters--are, literally, "waters of "stillness," whose quiet flow invites to repose. They are contrasted with boisterous streams on the one hand, and stagnant, offensive pools on the other.

psalms 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
