1. KEEP and protect me, O God, for in You I have found refuge, and in You do I put my trust and hide myself.
2. I say to the Lord, You are my Lord; I have no good beside or beyond You.
3. As for the godly (the saints) who are in the land, they are the excellent, the noble, and the glorious, in whom is all my delight.
4. Their sorrows shall be multiplied who choose another god; their drink offerings of blood will I not offer or take their names upon my lips.
