He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. 4. Even 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. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the hour of the Lord forever.
