⁴ Even when I walk through the darkest valley,
    I fear no danger because you are with me.
Your rod and your staff—
    they protect me.

⁵ You set a table for me
    right in front of my enemies.
You bathe my head in oil;
    my cup is so full it spills over!
⁶ Yes, goodness and faithful love
    will pursue me all the days of my life,
    and I will live^[a] in the Lord’s house
    as long as I live.

⁴ There is a river whose streams gladden God’s city,
    the holiest dwelling of the Most High.
⁵ God is in that city. It will never crumble.
    God will help it when morning dawns.
⁶ Nations roar; kingdoms crumble.
    God utters his voice; the earth melts.
⁷ The Lord of heavenly forces is with us!
    The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
