Edited sentence: Certain scholars have suggested that there is similarity between Psalm 23 and an ancient hymn sung to Osiris, a saviour-figure in ancient Egyptian mythology.This hymn appealed to Osiris as the Good Shepherd, to lead those who have died to the "green pastures" and the "still waters" of the nefer-nefer land, Osiris was to restore the soul to the body and give protection in the "valley of the shadow of death"
