In the valley of shadow Yea, I will fear no evil I have cursed thy rod and staff They no longer comfort me Love rescue me

I believe "rod and staff" are a reference to the OT Law.

Galatians 3:24 New Living Translation (NLT) 24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.

A word study for the word "guardian" is very interesting, if you're so inclined.

The OT Law no longer is comforting....since it brings death (Romans,Paul).

But NT Love does bring comfort.
