Psalm 23 is much the better known of the two psalms. It is taught to children because it is short and comforting. Psalm 22 is mostly known as the one that Jesus starts quoting on the cross "My god, my god, why have you forsaken me?"
The two go together. Psalm 22 is I am abandoned and miserable, please listen to me. Then Even so, I trust you to care for me and rescue me. Psalm 23 is The Lord has cared for me and rescued me.
