1. Protect me, God,because I trust in you.
2. I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord.Every good thing I have comes from you.”
3. As for the godly people in the world,they are the wonderful ones I enjoy.
4. But those who turn to idolswill have much pain.I will not offer blood to those idolsor even speak their names.
5. No, the Lord is all I need.He takes care of me.
6. My share in life has been pleasant;my part has been beautiful.
7. I praise the Lord because he advises me.Even at night, I feel his leading.
8. I keep the Lord before me always.Because he is close by my side,I will not be hurt.
9. So I rejoice and am glad.Even my body has hope,
