through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are at my side,
with your rod and your staff
that comfort me. - This, in fact, is what you have been called to do, because Christ himself suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his footsteps.

because you are honored and I love you,

and nations in return for your life. - But I will sing of your strength;
when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness.

my refuge in times of trouble. - Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
- Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed;
save me, and I will be saved;
you are the one whom I praise. - For I know full well the plans I have for you, plans for your welfare and not for your misfortune, plans that will offer you a future filled with hope.
- Truly, you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you surround them with your goodwill as with a shield. - O Lord, you are my God.

formulated in ages past, faithful and sure. - Fear not, little flock, for your Father has chosen to give you the kingdom.

with its healing rays.

like calves released from the stall. - But as for you, man of God, you must shun all this. Rather, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, fortitude, and gentleness.

the inhabitants of the world learn to practice justice.
