Even though I (A)walk through the [a]valley of the shadow of death,
I (B)fear no [b]evil, for (C)You are with me;
Your (D)rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You (E)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [c]have (F)anointed my head with oil;
My (G)cup overflows.
[d]Surely (H)goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will [e](I)dwell in the house of the Lord [f]forever.
