Adaptation of Psalm 23 by Toki Miyashina.

God is my pace-setter, I shall not rush;
God makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals;
God provides me with images of stillness which restores my serenity.
God leads me in ways of efficiency through calmness of mind, and God’s guidance is peace.

Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day, I will not fret, for God’s presence is here.
God’s timelessness, God’s all- importance will keep me in balance.
God prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity by anointing my head with God’s 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 God and dwell in God’s house forever. Amen

Toki Miyashina was a Japanese poet.
