⁴ Even when I go through the darkest valley,^[a]
I fear no danger,
for you are with me;^(A)
your rod and your staff—they comfort me.^(B)

your foot will not stumble.^(A)

¹⁵ The one who lives righteously
and speaks rightly,^(A)
who refuses profit from extortion,
whose hand never takes a bribe,
who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots
and shuts his eyes against evil schemes^(B)—
¹⁶ he will dwell on the heights;
his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,
his food provided, his water assured.
