Hehe, I'm no Christian either, I'm an Orthodox Jew.
Here's the King James version of the 23rd Psalm, as that one is probably more applicable here, despite the fact that it is a translation (that they took some artistic liberties with):
A psalm of David:
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
Apparently, this is known as "The Lord's Prayer", but I have no idea what the significance of that is. The English words sound familiar. All I know is that it's very beautiful in the Hebrew, and that Orthodox Jews say it (usually) twice a week - Friday night and Saturday morning, times of joy I might add.
EDIT: After further research (google), I've found that people read it out loud in times of grief (at funerals, for example.) Weird twist.
