O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
