The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory
A #Ps. 56—60Michtam of David.
1 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2 Omysoul, you have said to the Lord,
"You are my Lord,
Job 35:7My goodness is nothing apart from You."
3 As for the saints who are on the earth,
"They are the excellent ones, in Ps. 119:63whom is all my delight."
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of Ps. 106:37, 38blood I will not offer,
(Ex. 23:13); Josh. 23:7Nor take up their names on my lips.
5 O Lord, Youare the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 (Acts 2:25–28)I have set the Lord always before me;
Because Heis at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 Ps. 49:15; 86:13; Acts 2:31, 32; Heb. 13:20For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the Ps. 139:24; (Matt. 7:14)path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
