Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good."
The saints on earth are the most excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Those who offer sacrifices to other gods will have more troubles.
I do not offer them the bloody libations they offer.
I will not even mention his name with my lips.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; he maintains my portion.
The territory that was measured out for me is in a pleasant place; my inheritance is truly beautiful.
I will praise the Lord who has instructed me.
Every night my conscience instructs me.
I have set the Lord always before me.
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken (1-8)
