David praises God for his grace4. The blessedness of God's chosen by reason of benefits The pastures of the wilderness overflow The phrase "The pastures of the wilderness" evokes imagery of desolate and barren lands, typically associated with scarcity and survival challenges. In the Hebrew context, the word for "wilderness" (מִדְבָּר, midbar) often refers to uninhabited lands, yet here, these pastures are described as overflowing. This suggests a miraculous transformation, a divine intervention where God provides abundantly even in places of desolation. The word "overflow" (רָוָה, ravah) implies an abundance that exceeds expectations, symbolizing God's provision and blessing. This imagery can inspire believers to trust in God's ability to bring life and abundance to the barren areas of their lives, both physically and spiritually. the hills are robed with joy
