Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge.
\n I say to the Lord, \u201cThou art my Lord;
\n I have no good apart from thee.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
As for the saints in the land, they are the noble,
\n in whom is all my delight.<\/p>\n
Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows;
\n their libations of blood I will not pour out
\n or take their names upon my lips.
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
\n thou holdest my lot.
\nThe lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
\n yea, I have a goodly heritage.<\/p>\n
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
\n in the night also my heart instructs me.
\nI keep the Lord always before me;
\n because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.<\/p>\n
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;
\n my body also dwells secure.
\nFor thou dost not give me up to Sheol,
\n or let thy godly one see the Pit.<\/p>\n
Thou dost show me the path of life;
\n in thy presence there is fulness of joy,
\n in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.<\/p>\n
