1. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2. I have said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
3. As for the saints that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that exchange the Lord for another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5. The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
