Psalm 23 it is from the book of Psalm in the old testament in the Bible. The text is written in archaic or old English and it is a free verse kind of poem. I guess Psalm 23 is a praising song made by David for God, during the time that God blessed him so much. And I think the reason why it is written in that way because it is taken from the King James Version (Bible version).
The disadvantage of using Archaic English ---sometimes it is difficult for the reader to understand the poem, because it is not easy to translate Archaic to Contemporary English and using it their maybe a confusion of the tenses when it is translated. While advantage of using the poem it inspires the readers to be dependent on God.
For me, the entire poem is a good peace especially for the readers who are suffering pain and have struggles. Like what I tell it teaches us to be depend on God, because God can do great possible things that really help us to face struggles and pain that serves us challenge in life.
