Psalm 23 is a picture of what the attributes of mercy mean to those who follow the LORD and are under His care. How can this be analyzed?

My response to this assignment would not make the instructor happy. You say:
Psalm 23 is a picture of what the attributes of mercy mean to those who follow the LORD and are under His care
I refuse to play nice when I am given what a passage means before I analysize the passage. Since Scripture is God speaking, I prefer to listen to God before someone tries to tell me what God is saying. God may use the passage as a springboard to tell me what I need to hear. After I threw my tizzy-fit, I would use a method similar to those shown in Formal concept analysis - Wikipedia to identify and support the differientated sense I have found in the passage. And I will admit to having a very nice Java script for producing the line drawing and assuring that my results meet the formal requirements. I may not be quite as nerdy as my forum friend but ...
This is not an assignment. Personal study here. I do try to use the Word of God as a springboard. Thanks for your reply. Very helpful
