4  Even though I ^kwalk through the valley of ^lthe shadow of death,¹

I will ^mfear no evil,

for ⁿyou are with me;

your ^orod and your staff,

they comfort me.

1  God is our ^crefuge and strength,

a very ^dpresent² help in ^etrouble.

7  ^xWhere shall I go from your Spirit?

Or where ^yshall I flee from your presence?

8  ^zIf I ascend to heaven, you are there!

^aIf I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

9  If I take the wings of the morning

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10  even there your hand shall ^blead me,

and your right hand shall hold me.
