What is the Hebrew name for 'The Lord is my shepherd' in Psalm 23?
The Hebrew name connected to 'The Lord is my shepherd' in Psalm 23 is Jehovah-Rehah. In the transcript's wording, Psalm 23:1 reads 'The Lord is my shepherd,' and the Hebrew expression Jehovah-Rehah means Jehovah the Shepherd. This is one of the seven distinct names of Jehovah.
Les explains that Jehovah is primarily the name of God as He deals with His covenant people, and there are seven distinct names of Jehovah intrinsic with God's dealing with Israel. One example he gives is Jehovah-Jireh, when Abraham found the ram in the thicket and called the place Jehovah-Jireh, meaning God is the provider. Then he points to Psalm 23, saying its first verse is 'The Lord is my shepherd,' but in the Hebrew it is Jehovah-Rehah, which means Jehovah the Shepherd.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
