| 4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. | 4Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. |
| 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. | 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. |
