23RD PSALM FOR BUSY PEOPLE, by Toki Miyashima
The Lord is my pacesetter, I shall not rush.
He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals.
He provides me with images of stillness, which
restores 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 refreshments and renewal in the midst
of my activity by anointing my mind with His
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 my Lord and dwell in His house forever.
