The Creator is my companion; I shall not hurry.
He helps me pause in pleasant places;
He gives me moments of renewal.
He calms my anxiety.
He keeps me in the path of quietness for His love's sake.
Yes, though I am surrounded by rush and stress and worry,
I will not be overwhelmed; for You are with me.
Your calmness protects and comforts me.
You have refreshed my soul even in in the middle of my busy life.
You have eased my mind with inner peace.
Surely quietness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the care of the Creator for ever.
This modern interpretation and adaptation of Psalm 23 helps me when I am overworking and not taking care of myself.
