Re: The valley of the shadow of death.

Also, when you get back, any time you get a new interpretation for a word or phrase, plug it back into the context and try to make sense of the whole thing again. It works for me. Whenever I totally desiccate all interpretibility from a text, my bright idea usually dies with it.

Considering the 'valley girl' scenario, you totally remove all other 'bad' people from it, including Hitler, Stalin, Bin Laden, and every other 'bad' person from the past few thousand years and also probably the future as well. How will that change the meaning of the psalm?

Also, valley girls get their name from living in a real valley. Are you saying everyone who lives a geographical low land is in deep doodoo with the big stink? (Puts me in the septic.) Then salvation is actually kinda random and has no relevance to personage whatsoever.

If you can pull great enlightenment from questioning the interpretation, then cool, otherwise try again. Another good idea would be to reconsider the sources of these not-so-bright ideas and/or the voices they talk to.
