Psalm 23:4

Plain English Version

You know, God is with me when I have trouble too. Sometimes I have a lot of trouble, and I feel like I am walking in a really dark valley, and something might kill me, but even then, God is with me. I will not be frightened at that time. I know that God is stopping my enemies from hurting me, just like a shepherd uses his stick and stops wild dogs from hurting his sheep. When I remember that he does that, I feel safe.
