Psalm 23 for busy people
The Lord is my pace setter, I shall not rush,
He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals,
He provides me with images of stillness, which restore my serenity.


He leads me in ways of efficiency, through calmness of mind;
And His guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day,
I will not fret, for His presence is here;
His timelessness, His all-importance will keep me in balance.


He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity,
By anointing my mind with His oils of tranquility.


Surely my cup of joyous energy overflows.
Harmony and effectiveness shall surely be the fruit of my hours,
For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord,
And I shall dwell in His house forever.
