he leads me beside quiet waters.#Ps 36:8

he leads me along the right paths#23:3 Or me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.#Ps 5:8; Pr 4:11
4Even when I go through the darkest valley,#23:4 Or the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no danger,
for you are with me;#Is 43:2
your rod and your staff — they comfort me.#Mc 7:14
5You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;#Ps 92:10
my cup overflows.#Ps 16:5
6Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life,#Ps 25:7; 109:21
and I will dwell in#23:6 LXX, Sym, Syr, Tg, Vg, Jer; MT reads will return to the house of the Lord
as long as I live.#23:6 Lit Lord for length of days; traditionally Lord forever#Ps 27:4–6
