This is the bread that comes down from heaven, says the Lord,
so that one may eat it and not die.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.

You set a table before me
in front of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
