1 Protect me, God, because I depend on you.
2 Some of you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord. Every good thing I have comes from you.”
3 But you have also said about the gods of this land, “They are my powerful gods. They are the ones who make me happy.”
4 But those who worship other gods will have many troubles. I will not share in the gifts of blood they offer to their idols. I will not even say their names.
5 Lord, you give me all that I need. You support me. You give me my share.
6 My share is wonderful. My inheritance is very beautiful.
7 I praise the Lord because he taught me well. Even at night he put his instructions deep inside my mind.
