 Sheep, Psalm 23, verses 1 through 3. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Sheep are completely dependent on the shepherd for provision, guidance, and protection. And as we know, the New Testament calls Jesus our shepherd, the chief shepherd.
