You Will Not Abandon My Soul
Preserve me, O God,
for in you I take refuge.
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you."
As for the saints in the land
they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.
The sorrows of those who
run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood
I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
The lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places; indeed, I have a
beautiful inheritance.
I bless the Lord who gives
me counsel;
in the night also my heart
instructs me.
I have set the Lord always
before me;
because he is at my right
hand, I shall not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad, and
my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
For you will not abandon my
soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is
fullness of joy;
at your right hand are
pleasures forevermore.
