My Study Bible (The Nelson Study bible, copyright 1997, pg. 898) implies that it was written when David was king. So while many Psalms were written while he was on the run from Saul Psalm 23 was written after. It is a picture of the Lord as his shepoherd and symbolic of all good shepherds of the Lords people, and finally, a prophetic picture of Jesus as our Good Shepherd.
