1The Lord is my shepherd.

I will not be afraid of any danger, because you are with me.
Your rod and staff#23:4 rod and staff The club and walking stick a shepherd uses to protect and guide his sheep. comfort me.

You welcomed me as an honored guest.#23:5 You welcomed … guest Literally, “You anointed my head with oil.”

6Your goodness and mercy will be with me all my life,
and I will live in the Lord’s house#23:6 house Or “Temple.” See “Temple” in the Word List. a long, long time.#23:6 I … long time Or “I will return again and again to the Lord’s Temple for as long as I live.”
