Context
Preserve Me, O God

1Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust. 2O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you; 3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 5The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot. 6The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage. 7I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. 11You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more.
