Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is [you]'s shepherd; [you] shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He maketh [you] to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth [you] beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restoreth [you]'s soul: he leadeth [you] in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though [you] walks through the valley of the shadow of death, [you] will fear no evil: for thou art with [you]; thy rod and thy staff they comfort [you].
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before [you] in the presence of [you]'s enemies: thou anointest [you]'s head with oil; [you]'s cup runneth over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow [you] all the days of [you]'s life: and [you] will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

'Bout time that thing was used for good, instead of evil! :lol

Just can't understand why you'd quote the bible at me like that!!

Wonderful idea, Bro. Blume!! Thank you...

Very nice. I like this... and the first thought to my mind was, too bad there isn't a trick on this board that allows for [your enemy] to pop up an accurate name too.

If I read ('scuse me, no offense in the names used-you aren't enemies, just examples here :friend):

Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is Notofworks's shepherd; Notofworks shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He maketh Notofworks to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth Notofworks beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restoreth Notofworks's soul: he leadeth Notofworks in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though Notofworks walks through the valley of the shadow of death, Notofworks will fear no evil: for thou art with Notofworks; thy rod and thy staff they comfort Notofworks.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before Notofworks in the presence of Notofworks's enemies: thou anointest Notofworks's head with oil; Notofworks's cup runneth over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Notofworks all the days of Notofworks's life: and Notofworks will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

or

Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is Mfblume's shepherd; Mfblume shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He maketh Mfblume to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth Mfblume beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restoreth Mfblume's soul: he leadeth Mfblume in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though Mfblume walks through the valley of the shadow of death, Mfblume will fear no evil: for thou art with Mfblume; thy rod and thy staff they comfort Mfblume.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before Mfblume in the presence of Mfblume's enemies: thou anointest Mfblume's head with oil; Mfblume's cup runneth over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Mfblume all the days of Mfblume's life: and Mfblume will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Would I treat them differently? Would my responses to them be different?

This made my day, bro! Thank you so much!

How did you do it?

Hit the quote button on my original post and see the code that puts your name there.

Thank you for posting this. Last night we preached a funeral and used this psalm so it was such a blessing to come and read it today.

Even in the dead of winter some days have a "blume" on them to brighten the day.
Thanks for this encouraging word!

Let's make this more fun, though. Do one of those threatening verses with the quote thinggy. Maybe that'll make Timmy straighten up! :lol

[you] can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth [you]. Philippians 4:13

So that [you] may boldly say, The Lord is [you]'s helper, and [you] will not fear what man shall do unto [you]. Hebrews 13:6

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in [you] will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Philippians 1:6

The Lord God is [you]'s strength, and he will make [you]'s feet like hinds' feet, and he will make [you] to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. Habakkuk 3:19

Nay, in all these things [you] is more than a conqueror through him that loved [you]. Romans 8:37

And this is the confidence that [you] has in him, that, if [you] asks any thing according to his will, he heareth [you]: And if [you] knows that he hears [you], whatsoever [you] asks, [you] knows that [you] has the petitions that [you] desired of him. 1 John 5:14, 15

Verily, verily, I say unto you, [you] that believeth on me, the works that I do shall [you] do also; and greater works than these shall [you] do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:12

When [you] passest through the waters, I will be with [you]; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow [you]: when [you] walkest through the fire, [you] shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon [you]. Isaiah 43:2

For the Lord shall be [you]'s confidence, and shall keep [you]'s foot from being taken. Proverbs 3:26

In whom [you] has boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians 3:12

But [you] who waits upon the Lord shall renew [you]'s strength; [you] shall mount up with wings as eagles; [you] shall run, and not be weary; and [you] shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
