21st Century Paraphrase of Psalm 23 (from a woman’s perspective)

My Lord shepherds me, continually leading and guiding me, taking care that my needs are met.
He invites me to the quiet of the soul spa where I can lay back and unwind without guilt. He massages my soul until I relax and am at peace.
He insures I follow the ways of truth, justice and holiness. His motives for my right living are simple and pure: ALL for the glory of God.
In the midst of anxiety, depression, grief, panic, despair, or when the world is closing in, Jesus is with me. I can choose to fear or to cling. He lends His walking stick for me to lean and wields His rod to drive away attackers. I rest easy in His presence knowing I will be supported, strengthened and defended.
You escort me to a lavish banquet, and the others present simply do not matter. You pull out my chair and seat me like royalty. My glass is never empty; the feast satisfies me beyond measure. The abundance overwhelms me.
You pour upon me excellence, generosity, virtue – the best part of all that is right – tempered by and with regard to my failings. You grace me with compassion, kindly forbearing and restraining judgement or punishment, not once but every day of my life.
Forever I will seek the presence of God and remain where God dwells.
