Swarthmore College philosopher J Velines urged at Columbia University that the 23rd Psalm line The Lord is my shepherd is outdated for modern urban life. He proposed substitutes such as The Lord is my automobile's low gear and The Lord is my dynamo to charge run-down batteries. He argued religion should reflect personal urban experience rather than inherited phrases.
