4  ^jEven though I walk through the valley of the ^kshadow of death,¹

I will fear no evil,

for you are ^lwith me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

50  This is my comfort in my affliction,

that your promise gives me life.

1  ^fComfort, comfort my people, says your God.

12  “I, I am he who comforts you;

who are you that you are ^tafraid of man who dies,

of the son of man who is made ^ulike grass,

9  Break forth together into singing,

you waste places of Jerusalem,

for the Lord has comforted his people;

he has redeemed Jerusalem.

13  As one whom his mother comforts,

so ^kI will comfort you;

you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
