PSALM 23, JAPANESE VERSION
Maribel Kraybill of Lancaster Pennsylvania sent in this version of the familiar Shepherd’s Psalm as translated into English from the Japanese version: r17601 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 deepen 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 oils of tranquility My cup of joyous energy overflows. Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours. For I shall walk in the pace of the Lord, And dwell in his house forever.
