Psalm 22:1-2 — the Lord shepherds me; green grass is ethical teaching, not yet the wine
“The Lord shepherds me, and nothing will fail me. Into a place of green grass, there he encamped me; by water of rest he nourished me” (Psalm 22:1-2).
The perfect one, known according to the image of God and likeness, for whom the Lord is called also as kingnot as shepherd; but the one progressing in introduction would be called a sheep of God, and is shepherded by him, and feeds on the gospel, and drinks water of which he who drinks will not thirst; but not yet the wine of the true vine, and he rests through the ransom of regeneration, putting off the burden of sins.
And otherwise, the one who has accomplished the meek and steady of Christ is shepherded by him upon the green grass, which is ethical teaching, in which “he encamped me,” he says, but did not settle me as a house. And elsewhere he says: “he himself shepherds us unto the ages.”
And see and understand the green grass, and its intelligible place, and intelligible water of rest, given to the one still being shepherded, until someone can partake of a rational table and cup. If there is still something that is not a killing letter, that will be green grass; but for those shepherded spiritually, a table prepared, for those who endure the afflictions.

22.1,2 Κύριος ποιμαίνει με, καὶ οὐδέν με ὑστερήσει. Εἰς τόπον χλόης, ἐκεῖ με κα τεσκήνωσεν, ἐπὶ υ δατος ἀναπαύσεως ἐξέ θρεψέ με. Τέλειος ὁ κατ' εἰκόνα Θεοῦ καὶ ὁμοίω σιν γνωριζόμενος, ῳ καὶ βασιλεὺς, ἀλλ' οὐ ποιμὴν ἐπιγράφεται Κύριος· ὁ δὲ προκόπτων ἐν εἰσαγωγῇ, πρόβατον κληθείη Θεοῦ, καὶ ποιμαίνεται ὑπ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον νέμεται, καὶ πίνει υ δωρ, ου ὁ πιὼν οὐ διψᾷ· ου πω δὲ τῆς ἀληθινῆς ἀμπέλου τὸν οι νον, καὶ ἀναπαύεται διὰ λυτροῦ παλιγγενεσίας, ἀποτιθέμενος τὸ τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων φορτίον. Καὶ α λλως δὲ ὁ τὸ πρᾶον καὶ εὐσταθὲς κα τορθώσας Χριστοῦ, ὑπ' αὐτοῦ ποιμαίνεται ἐπὶ τὴν χλόην, η τις ἐστὶν ἠθικὴ διδασκαλία, ἐν ῳ κατεσκήνωσέ με, φησὶν, ἀλλ' οὐ κα τῴκισε. Καὶ ἀλλαχοῦ δὲ, φησίν· αὐτὸς ποι μαίνει ἡμᾶς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ορα δὲ καὶ νόει τὴν χλόην, καὶ νοητὸν αὐτῆς τόπον, καὶ νοητὸν ἀναπαύσεως υ δωρ, τῷ ε τι ποι μαινομένῳ διδόμενον, ε ως λογικῆς τραπέζης, καὶ ποτηρίου μεταλαβεῖν τις δυνηθείη. Εἰ ε τι τι μὴ ἀποκτεῖνον γράμμα, ἐκεῖνο ε σται χλόη· ποιμαινομένουσι δὲ πνευματικῶς τρά πεζα ἡτοιμασμένη, τοῖς ὑπομένουσι τὰς θλί ψεις.
