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

I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
3
I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.
4
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 LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.

LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!

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