1. Protect me, Lord God!I run to you for safety,
2. and I have said,“Only you are my Lord!Every good thing I haveis a gift from you.”
3. Your people are wonderful,and they make me happy,
4. but worshippers of other godswill have much sorrow.I refuse to offer sacrificesof blood to those godsor worship in their name.
5. You, Lord, are all I want!You are my choice,and you keep me safe.
6. You make my life pleasant,and my future is bright.
7. I praise you, Lord,for being my guide.Even in the darkest night,your teachings fill my mind.
