Psalm 23:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
4 Even if I walk through a valley as dark as the grave,[a]
I will not be afraid of any danger, because you are with me.
Your rod and staff[b] comfort me.
5 You prepared a meal for me in front of my enemies.
You welcomed me as an honored guest.[c]
My cup is full and spilling over.
6 Your goodness and mercy will be with me all my life,
and I will live in the Lord’s house[d] a long, long time.[e]
