You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed and refreshed my head with [a]oil;
My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 23:5 In ancient times it was customary in hot climates for a host to provide his guest with olive oil to put on his head. The Lord blesses and anoints His believers with the Holy Spirit, whom oil symbolizes, to prepare them for His service.

You prepare a table(A) before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;(B)
    my cup(C) overflows.
Surely your goodness and love(D) will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
