23rd Psalm

(by a Christian Japanese)
The Lord is my pace-setter I shall not rush
He makes me stop 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 head with oils of tranquillity,
My cup of energy joyously overflows.
Truly harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours,
For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord,
And dwell in His house forever.
