"Here is the point: all through our life we are walking through the valley of death, and its shadow is continually upon us.
Of all my commentaries there is but one that agrees with me, but that makes no difference.
Such is indeed the teaching of Scripture throughout, and it is also plain from the text itself, as also the context.
The verses 5 and 6 certainly do not sustain the former view, the view, namely, that this verse refers to our final journey. Because when the prophet has stated the astounding truth that God is with him in the valley of death, he continues and gives testimony how God comforts him in the valley. He prepareth a table before me in the presence of his enemies; his head is anointed with oil and his cup runneth over. And, concluding, he testifies that he is assured of the fact that all his days will be spent in the house of God.
But also the text itself does not lend itself to the former explanation.
If this is the last journey, that is, our departure from this earth to the heavenly tabernacle, how shall we then explain the rod and the staff of God unto my comfort?
No, but this walk is our walk here below from the beginning to the end."
-Psalm 23:4-
