pronounced: ee-mah-DEE


**With me — God’s presence confessed in the dark valley of Psalm 23**

## In Scripture

> Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
> — [Psalm 23:4](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms+23%3A4&version=WEB) (Immadi means “with me.” In the valley, the psalmist turns from speaking about the Shepherd to speaking to him.)

> Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
> — [Genesis 28:20](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+28%3A20&version=WEB) (Jacob’s vow uses the same word, immadi, as he asks for God’s presence, protection and daily bread on the road.)
