MSB PSA Chapter 16

The Presence of the LORD

(Acts 2:14–36)

A Miktam[fn] of David.

Preserve me, O God,

for in You I take refuge.

2 

I said to the LORD,“You are my Lord;

apart from You I have no good thing.”

3 

As for the saints in the land,

they are the excellence

in whom all my delight resides.

4 

Sorrows will multiply

to those who chase other gods.

I will not pour out their libations of blood,

or speak their names with my lips.

5 

The LORD [is] my chosen portion and my cup;

You have made my lot {secure}.

6 

The lines of my {boundary} have fallen in pleasant places;

surely my inheritance is delightful.

7 

I will bless the LORD who counsels me;

even at night my conscience instructs me.[fn]

8 

I have set[fn] the LORD always before me.

Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9 

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will dwell securely.[fn]

10 

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol,

nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.[fn]

11 

You have made known to me the path of life;

You will fill me with joy in Your presence

with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
