Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 23 of Psalms. Psalm 23 develops the relationship between God and the believer through two main images: shepherd and host. As shepherd, God guides, feeds, restores, and protects; as host, he prepares a table even in the presence of adversaries and anoints the guest with abundance. Passing through the dark valley demonstrates that security does not mean avoiding every danger, but passing through it accompanied by divine presence.

Du bereitest vor mir einen Tisch im Angesicht meiner Feinde. Du salbest mein Haupt mit Öl und schenkest mir voll ein.
Aderezarás mesa delante de mí, en presencia de mis angustiadores: Ungiste mi cabeza con aceite: mi copa está rebosando.
Preparas una mesa ante mí en presencia de mis adversarios; unges mi cabeza con aceite y mi copa rebosa.
Tu dresses devant moi une table, En face de mes adversaires; Tu oins d'huile ma tête, Et ma coupe déborde.
Tu apparecchi davanti a me la mensa, al cospetto de’ miei nemici; Tu ungi il mio capo con olio; la mia coppa trabocca.
Preparas uma mesa perante mim na presença dos meus inimigos, unges a minha cabeça com óleo, o meu cálice transborda.
在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席; 你用油膏了我的頭,使我的福杯滿溢。
