1 Protect me, Lord God!I run to you for safety,
2 and I have said,“Only you are my Lord!Every good thing I haveis a gift from you.”
3 Your people are wonderful,and they make me happy,
4 but worshippers of other godswill have much sorrow.I refuse to offer sacrificesof blood to those godsor worship in their name.
5 You, Lord, are all I want!You are my choice,and you keep me safe.
6 You make my life pleasant,and my future is bright.
7 I praise you, Lord,for being my guide.Even in the darkest night,your teachings fill my mind.
