Modern Version Psalms 23

The Lord is my master;
I shall not want.
He makes me plough a small 
farmland;
He leads me beside as I sow to reap.
He restores my strength;
He leads me in the paths of 
honesty
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of manipulation*,
I will fear no poverty;
For You are with me;
Your Discipline and Your Sacrifice, they comfort me.
You give me voice in the 
presence of my enemies;
You bless me with resilience;
My gratitude remains ever.
Surely humbleness and content shall follow 
me
All the breaths of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the 
Lord 
Forever.


* In farming we do manipulate by using fertilizers, insecticides, genetic modification, hoarding for better price & search ways to avoid heavy loss in investment.

Congrats! Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed. Thanks also for your uplifting comments.
