Psalm 666

The State is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
It makes me lie down in federally owned pastures.
It leads me beside quiet waters in banned fishing areas.
It restores my soul through its control.
It guides me in the path of dependency for its namesake.
Even though our nation plunges into the valley of the shadow of debt,
I will fear no evil,
For Barack will be with me.
The Affordable Care Act and food stamps,
They comfort me.
You prepare a table of Michelle Obama approved foods before me in the presence of my Conservative and Libertarian enemies.
You anoint my head with hemp oil;
My government regulated 16-ounce cup overflows.
Surely mediocrity and an entitlement mentality will follow me
All the days of my life,
And I will dwell in a low-rent HUD home forever and ever.
Amen.

Fallout's translation:

President Obama is my shepherd.
He has my back.

He prods me into green believing:
He leads me into a renewable energy world.

He gleans from my soul--ambition:
He restores my hope in government care.

Yo, though I do nothing all day, I will not fear debt:
For Obama is with me; his promises and government might comfort me.

He prepares programs for me in the presents of the working force.
Thou anointest me with food stamps and health care; my baseball cap runs over.

Surely, government mercy shall follow me all the stoned* days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the welfare system forever.

Moving Froward. Amen.

*could also be translated “empty”
