Through the valley of the shadow of death; through a dark and dismal valley, full of terrors and dangers, as this phrase signifies, Job 24:17 Psalms 44:19, Psalms 107:10,14 Jer 2:6. I will fear no evil; I will not give way to my fears, but confidently rely upon God. Thy rod and thy staff; two words noting the same thing, and both designing God's pastoral care over him, expressed by the sign and instrument of it. They comfort me; the consideration thereof supports me under all my fears and distresses.
