R (1b) Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;
I say to the Lord, “My Lord are you.” R
They multiply their sorrows
who court other gods.
Blood libations to them I will not pour out,
nor will I take their names upon my lips. R
O Lord, my allotted portion and my cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.
I set the Lord ever before me;
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. R
You will show me the path to life,
fullness of joys in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever. R
Alleluia, alleluia. Teach me your paths, my God,/ and guide me in your truth. Alleluia, alleluia.
- I have come not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. l
