3 As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in awhom is all my delight.”
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of ablood I will not offer, bNor take up their names on my lips.
5 O Lord, You1are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My1 heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8aI have set the Lord always before me; Because Heis at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will1 rest in hope.
