Another paraphrase of the 2 3
Psalm 2 3
“The Lord is My Pace-Setter”
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 restores my serenity.
He leads me in the way of efficiency
through calmness of mind
through calmness of mind
And his guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things
to accomplish each day.
to accomplish each day.
I will not fret
For his presence is here.
His timelessness,
His all-importance
will keep me in balance.
His all-importance
will keep me in balance.
He prepares me refreshment and renewal
in the midst of my activity
in the midst of my activity
By anointing my mind with the oil of tranquility
my cup of joyous energy overflows.
Surely harmony and effectiveness
shall be the fruit of my hours,
for I shall walk in the pace of my Lord
for I shall walk in the pace of my Lord
and dwell in His house forever.
