1. A miktam of David.Keep me safe, O God;in you I take refuge.
2. I say to the Lord,you are my Lord,you are my only good.
3. As for the holy ones who are in the land,they are noble,in whom is all my delight.
4. They multiply their sorrowswho court other gods.Blood libations to them I will not pour out,nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5. Lord, my allotted portion and my cup,you have made my destiny secure.
