Psalm 23:4 (NIV)

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Isang talinghaga ang paggamit ng salitang “death” o kamatayan sa salmong ito. The phrase “shadow of death” does not really mean physical death or death as we know it.  It can mean calamity. Kaya ang sinasabi ay kahit ano’ng kalamidad ang aking suungin, harapin o lusungin ay wala akong magiging pangamba.  Evil here also does not always mean evil spirits or evil deeds. It can also mean adversity or distress or grief or misery or sorrow.  Sinasabi ng may akda, “Sapagkat ang Dios ang aking pastol, ano man ang suungin ko, ano man ang mangyari, wala akong ipangangamba.”  Kung minsan tayo ay nadadayang mag-isip na nakakatakot mawalan ng ganito’t ganun.  Pero walang dahilan para ang tao ay mangamba kung ang Panginoon ay nasa kanyang puso.

When the Lord is my shepherd, I will be secure no matter what.  Sa totoo lang, ang kalungkutan natin kapag may mahal tayong sumasakabilang buhay ay dahil, una, mahal natin ang namatay, mami-miss natin siya at mahihirapan tayo.  Pero madalas ding nadadagdagan ito ng pangambang “Paano na ako?  Paano na ang inaasahan ko?” Lalo pa’t nasasandalan natin ang yumao. Kaya nga dapat nating alalahanin na ang tunay na nasasandalan ng tao ay ang ating Dios.  Hindi natin minamaliit o binabale-wala ang magagandang ginawa ng taong sumakabilang buhay subalit dapat lang maalala ang katotohanan na ang Dios naman talaga ang pinanggagalingan ng lahat ng mabubuting bagay.  Sapat na ito para makaaliw sa atin.
