$ 0 was sometimes obliged to lead his flocks, though at the hazard of death from the wild beasts. When the walks of duty lie in the midst of dangers which fall around like shadows, then, says the psalmist, I will fear no evil. Such conâ€" fidence has he in his Shepherd. But the shadow of death may also mean the darkness of sheol, or region of the dead, as in Job 10:21, 22, and this gives an outlook of confident hope upon the dyâ€" ing hour and the future life.
