Psalm 23
Of all David's songs, this is probably his most beloved, the greatest hit of all. It is interesting that this Psalm is so beloved. It compares us to sheep and confirms that our Shepherd leads us through dark valleys as well as still waters. Those are true, but unpopular ideas to think about, let alone celebrate. It makes sense that this Psalm is a favorite for funerals. It's sobriety finds a friend in the eternal considerations that typically accompany them. The sovereignty of God is either our rest or our wrestling.  We either sleep better or worse knowing He is in complete control. Faith rests.
