Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

3 Those who lead holy lives on earth are the noble ones who fill me with joy.

I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows. I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood or use my lips to speak their names.

Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
5 The LORD is my inheritance and my cup. You are the one who determines my destiny.

LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me. Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
