Bible Verses About Jehovah Raah: 12

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing."

— Psalm 23:1 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Jehovah Raah want Scripture on the name YHWH Raʿah — "The Lord is my shepherd" — not only the general good shepherd poimēn list, and not protection alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about the good shepherd, Bible verses about protection, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about peace, Bible verses about God's love, and Bible verse of the day. Jehovah Raah here means the Psalm 23 shepherd-name and the raʿah / pasture lines — distinct from a full John 10 good-shepherd inventory alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, רָעָה raʿah (Strong's H7462; Bible Hub H7462) — to shepherd, tend, pasture; with the divine name YHWH yielding the compound sense "The Lord is my shepherd" in Psalm 23:1. This list tracks that shepherd-name vocabulary and the people-of-his-pasture lines, not the whole John 10 poimēn catalog.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalm 23 presses that the Lord is a shepherd who provides, guides, and restores — so that the believer may say, "I shall not want" (Bible Hub MHC Psalm 23; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Psalm 23). (The good-shepherd title list lives on that page; this list centers the Jehovah Raah / Psalm 23 name.)
