Medfield, C.M. [D]
| 1. |
1 Keep me, O God; I trust in Thee.
2 Jehovah, I confess
Thou art my Lord; apart from Thee
No good do I possess.
|
| 2. |
3 I take delight in noble men;
I saints on earth hold high.
4 Those hastening to other gods
Their sorrows multiply.
|
| 3. |
Of their drink offerings of blood
I will no off'ring make.
Nor will I ever on my lips
The names of idols take.
|
| 4. |
5 The LORD's the portion of my cup
And my inheritance.
Thou hast maintained my perfect lot,
Secured to me Thy grants.
|
| 5. |
6 The lines that fell to me enclose
A very pleasant site;
The heritage that I received
To me is a delight
|
| 6. |
7 I bless the LORD Who gives to me
The counsel that is right;
My heart within me He directs
To teach me in the night.
|
| 7. |
8 I've set the LORD before my face,
And Him I'll always see.
Because He stands at my right hand
I never moved shall be.
|
| 8. |
9 Because of this my heart is glad
And joy shall be expressed
By all my glory, and my flesh
In confidence shall rest.
|
| 9. |
10 Because my soul in nether realms
Shall not be left by Thee;
Corruption Thou wilt not permit
Thy Holy One to see.
|
| 10. |
11 Thou wilt me show the path of life.
Thy presence holds great store
Of lasting joy; at Thy right hand
Are pleasures evermore.
