Religion is my shepherd: I shall sin no more.
It alloweth me to lie to myself in flattering ways;
It leadeth me to water down the law.
It represseth my wickedness;
It leadeth me to a righteous exterior for my name's sake.
Yea, though I walk among the sinners in the temple,
I am glad I am not like them;
My piety and fig leaves, they conceal me.
I preparest my award acceptance speech for distinction from my peers;
My head no longer fits through the door;
My cup is outwardly cleansed.
Surely reputation and excellence shall follow me all of the days of my life:
and I will rule at the right hand of Jesus forever.
