A Psalm of David: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. This is what the Scripture says: 'My beloved is mine and I am his' (Song of Solomon 2:16). The Assembly of Israel said before the Lord, 'Master of the Universe, You are my God and I am Your nation.'
He is my God, as it says, 'I am the Lord your God' (Exodus 20:2), and I am His nation, as it says, 'Listen to Me, My nation; and My people, give ear to Me' (Isaiah 51:4). He is my Father, as it says, 'For I have become a Father to Israel' (Jeremiah 31:9), and I am His firstborn, as it says, 'Israel is My firstborn' (Exodus 4:22). He is my shepherd and I am His sheep, as it says, 'I will give them, your sheep, to be shepherded by men' (Ezekiel 34:31).
He is my brother and I am His sister, as it says, 'Who will make you like a brother to me?' (Song of Solomon 8:1), and I am His sister, as it says, 'Open to me, my sister, my beloved' (Song of Solomon 5:2). I have said, 'The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,' and He has said, 'Your utensils will be full, overflowing' (Proverbs 3:10)."
