 I've been thinking about how to modernize the 23rd Psalm for awhile now.  I used the NKJV for the 23 Psalm as my spring board.  I bounced this poem off my husband's head too, taking into account his suggestions.

The Lord is my driver
I will not crash.
He buckles me the front seat of my road car.
He drives me on back roads,
He maintains my vehicle. 
He leads me on the direct routes
For time saving sake.
Even though I ride on the narrow back alleys,
I will feel brave,
because He drives me.
The window and door protect me.
We travel on snow and ice covered roads in safety.
You add the lubricant  to my engine.
My eyes see country.
Surely clear roads and safe trips will be my lot.
All the trips that I take.
And I will ride shotgun in His car 
Forever!

I am glad you can relate to this, and glad you like this. My husband is a truck driver so that is where I got the idea for this.

My guess is that it was Psalm 23.
