1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
2 I have said to the Lord: "You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness."
3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
4 Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
