@UnbowedPaladin Hi Bill. Somehow, you showed up in my feed.
I think we can agree that Mary was not sinless.
Can we agree that Mary was righteous? You may enjoy the Hebrew meaning of righteousness - Strongs #6666.
When you see the word God in your OT scripture, replace it with Jesus. Start from Genesis 1:1, it will make a difference in your understanding once you get to the Book of Matthew.
The earthly ministry of Jesus’s audience were Jews from the land of Judea. They weren’t Christians.
It’s written in the Gospels.
The first followers of Jesus were Jews, then came non-Jews and now Christians.
Christians should study their heritage in the Old Testament.

“A Very Jewish Concept.”
by Dr. David Miskin, Professor
“There was a Jewish guy named Jesus,
Who had a group of Jewish followers,
Lived in a Jewish place,
And he claimed to be a fulfillment of Jewish writings,
And he spoke in a Jewish way,
After that we say his Jewish followers bring his message to the world.
And in the book of Acts, we have the history of the first three decades.
Acts 1:8 Start from Jerusalem and go out to the rest of the world.”
If you substitute the proper Name of the LORD using Strongs Concordance H3068, Psalm 23 reads like this:
[A Psalm of David.]]
1 JEHOVAH is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 JEHOVAH maketh me to lie down in green pastures: JEHOVAH leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 JEHOVAH restoreth my soul: JEHOVAH leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for JEHOVAH IS WITH ME; JEHOVAH’s rod and JEHOVAH’s staff they comfort me.
5 JEHOVAH preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: JEHOVAH anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the JEHOVAH for ever.
