The 23rd psalm, in which this phrase appears, uses the image of God as a shepherd and the believer as a sheep well cared-for.

The exact distinction between the two main parts of the psalm is also controversial, as verse 23 is sometimes counted as a part of the original psalm, but sometimes as part of the later addition.
