- 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
- 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
- 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
