                                             you hold my lot.
                                    The boundary lines have fallen for me
                                                      in pleasant places;
                                    I have a goodly heritage.
         People: The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup .

                                             in the night also my heart instructs me.
                                    I keep the Lord always before me;
                                             because he is at my right hand,
                                                      I shall not be moved.
         People:          The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup .

                                    For you do not give me up to Sheol,
                                             or let your faithful one see the Pit.
         People:          The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup.
         Leader:          You show me the path of life.
                                    In your presence there is fullness of joy;
                                             in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
