Tonight I heard someone sing the 23rd Psalm. It occurred to me that although my beliefs about God seem to be similar to the beliefs that David expresses in the psalm, I have never felt an affinity for this particular passage. Thinking about it, I realized that it was the language. So I started thinking about how I would express these ideas and this is what I came up with .
God is my Liege*, there is nothing I lack.
He gives me a safe place to rest.
He feeds and nourishes my body.
He restores my soul.
He maps out the paths of virtue according to His will.
Even when I have to go into dangerous place,
I am without fear, for You are beside me.
Your justice and your mercy is a comfort to me.
You prepare a feast and make me the guest of honor regardless of who is present.
You fill my life with abundance.
Without a doubt, your grace and love will be with me throught my life.
And I will be in Your Presence forever.
*a feudal superior to whom allegiance and service are due
