Yea, though I should walk through the valley of the [a]shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou dost prepare a [b]table before me in the sight of mine adversaries: thou dost [c]anoint mine head with oil, and my cup runneth over.

Doubtless kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall remain a long season in the [d]house of the Lord.
