3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take their names on my lips.

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 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

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