161 Preserve me, O God , for I take refuge in You. 2 I said to the Lord , "You are my Lord ; I have no good besides You." 3 As for the saints who are in the earth , They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight . 4 The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied ; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood , Nor will I take their names upon my lips . 5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup ; You support my lot . 6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed , my heritage is beautiful to me. 7 I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; Indeed , my mind instructs me in the night .
8 I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand , I will not be shaken . 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices ; My flesh also will dwell securely . 10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol ; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay . 11 You will make known to me the path of life ; In Your presence is fullness of joy ; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever .
