Psalm 23 - A Psalm of David

We've established that there are two families referenced in the Bible, each having its own qualities and attributes:
 
è   è   è   We Develop from Selfishness to Love of Others   è   è   è
Family of Selfishness
Family of Love of Others

       Seeking to benefit oneself
       This family has a father, mother, brother, sister etc

       Seeking to benefit others
       This family has a father, mother, brother, sister etc
       Father is the devil
       Kingdom of this world
       Father is God
       Kingdom of God
       Death
       Evil
       Enemies
       Life
       Green Pastures
       Still Waters
       Paths of Righteousness
       House of the LORD (YHVH)

Psalm 23 is one of the most famous chapters in the Bible. Here's how it's connected to the two families referenced in the Bible:
 
Psalm 23: A Psalm of David (NKJV)
Connection to the Two Families
1. The Lord (YHVH) is my shepherd;
The LORD (YHVH) (of the family of love of others) is my shepherd
I shall not want.
I shall not be in selfishness, wanting
2. He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He makes me be in the quality of love of others
3. He restores my soul;
He restores my quality from selfishness to love of others
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
He leads me in the paths of love of others
So that I have the quality of love of others
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
Though I am in selfishness
I will fear no evil;
I will not fear selfishness
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
For You are with me, bringing me out of selfishness to love of others
5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You prepare me to be in love of others, instead of being in selfishness
You anoint my head with oil;
You change my qualities to love of others
My cup runs over.
Until I am completely in love of others
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
Surely I will be in love of others
All the days of my life;
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord (YHVH)
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD (YHVH) (of the family of love of others)
Forever.
Forever
