1A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; For I have hoped in thee.
2I said to the Lord, Thou art my Lord; For thou hast no need of my goodness.
3On behalf of the saints that are in his land, He has magnified all his pleasure in them.
4Their weaknesses have been multiplied; Afterward they hastened. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, Neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou art he that restores my inheritance to me.
