Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in Thee. 2. I said to the Lord, "Thou art my Lord; I have no good besides Thee." 3. As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. 4. The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor shall I take their names upon my lips. 5. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; Thou dost support my lot. 6. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. Questions 1.
