Psalm 23 is often read at funerals and memorials because its themes of comfort, protection, and trust in God can provide reassurance to mourners. Its imagery of God as a caring shepherd, especially one who accompanies people through the “darkest valley,” has made the psalm particularly meaningful in times of grief.
