Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5

1Keep me, O God! For in thee do I trust.

2Thou shalt say to Jehovah, “My Lord thou art; “My well doing extendeth not to thee.”

3To the saints who are on the earth, And to the excellent; all my delight is in them.

4Multiplied shall be their sorrows who offer to a stranger; I will not taste their libations of blood, Nor will I take their names in my lips.

5Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup; Thou maintainest my lot.

6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, an inheritance that is goodly hath fallen to me.

7I will magnify Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; Even in the nights instruct me do my reins.

8I have set Jehovah before me continually; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore glad is my heart, rejoice doth my tongue; Also my flesh dwelleth in confidence.

10For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave; Nor wilt thou make thy Holy One to see the pit.

11Thou wilt make known to me the way of life; Fullness of joy is in thy countenance; Pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
