Psalm 23/Notes/Lexical.V. 3.318223

SDBH notes that יְשׁוֹבֵ֑ב in נַפְשִׁ֥י יְשֹׁובֵ֑ב ("he restores my life") means "literally to bring back (one's) self; hence: = causative process by which humans or deities restore a sense of well-being to (other) humans, which may extend from feeling refreshed after a good meal to feeling contented because of a major change in one's life situation -- to restore (someone's) life." Cf. Ps 19:8 מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ ("restoring life").
נחה is another verb that means "to lead, guide." The verb נהל ("to lead") in v. 2 "is normally used with reference to guidance to water (Isaiah 49:10 states, 'And [He] will guide them to springs of water')."^[1] On the other hand, the verb נחה ("to lead, guide") "often occurs with the imagery of the shepherd in reference to the Lord (see for example Pss 31:3, 77:20; 78:72). The word may have been drawn from the setting of shepherding to refer to divine guidance."^[2] Both verbs also occur in close proximity in Exod 15:13.
On the meaning of בְמַעְגְּלֵי־צֶדֶק ("paths of righteousness"), see The Text and Meaning of Ps. 23:3b.
For the sake of his name (לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֹֽו); i.e., "to maintain his reputation, or character."^[3]
