3 He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. ✦

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.Even 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. ✦

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. ✦
