David, who would be king of Israel, wrote the line "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." (KJV), which is recorded in Psalm 23 in the Holy Bible. It is especially significant since he himself was a shepherd and knew the duties of a good shepherd; take care of the sheep, watch the sheep, protect the sheep from harm (wolves, lions, bears, etc.). He recognized that the Lord, being his shepherd, would make sure that all of his needs would be met, so that he would have want of nothing.

What kind of figurative language is used in this first line of Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want A hyperbole B simile C metaphor D personification?

All answers except (B) are correct. "The Lord is my shepherd" by itself is an example of (D) personification because it ascribes personal attributes to a non-personal entity, God. You could also say (C) metaphor since God is not Himself engaged in the act of herding sheep, but his manner of directing people is similar to a shepherd. It is not a simile since there is no "like" or "as". However, the whole phrase: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack for anything" is an example of (A) hyperbole since it is exaggerating the relationship of a shepherd to his sheep. Just because a person is a shepherd does not mean that his sheep are entirely protected.
