1. Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you.
2. Oh my soul you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. I have no good apart from you.”
3. With regard to the saints who are in the land, they are the noble ones in whom is all my desire.
4. Those who hurry after another god increase their sorrows. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names on my lips.
5. Yahweh is the portion which is my share and my cup. You hold my lot.
