Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not sleep.
It maketh me rise in the early hours: it leadeth me to a full state of wakefulness.
It restoreth my brain: it leadeth me in the paths of being truly buzzed for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of sleep, I will fear no decaf: for it is with me; thy soda and thy coffee they comfort me.
It preparest a beverage before me in the presence of mine enemies: it anointest my head with sweat; my cup needs refilling.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the bean forever.

My hands acquire shaking; the shaking is a warning.
It is by coffee alone that I set my mind in motion.
(just quoting; personally, I prefer soda.)

It seems to be one of the best known, and therefore parodied, chapters in the bible.
