the delightful path . . .

Keep me safe, O God,
for in You I take Refuge.
I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from You I have no good thing.”
Lord, You have assigned me my portion and my cup;
You have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen
for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the Lord, Who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I have set the Lord always before me.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because You will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will You let your Holy One see decay.
You have made known to me the path of life;
You will fill me with joy in Your Presence,
with eternal pleasures at Your Right Hand.

But I trust in Your Unfailing Love;
my heart rejoices in Your Salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for He has been good to me.

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, Who daily bears our burdens.
Selah!
