1 Protect me, O God, because I take refuge in you.
2 I said to the Lord,“You are my Lord. Without you, I have nothing good.”
3 Those who lead holy lives on earthare the noble ones who fill me with joy.
4 Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows.I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of bloodor use my lips to speak their names.
5 The Lord is my inheritance and my cup.You are the one who determines my destiny.
6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me.Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.
