The presence of God

(Acts 2:14-36)

Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.

O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,

But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.

The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.

The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.

The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.

I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.

I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.

Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.

The presence of God

(Acts 2:14-36)

Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”

As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.

The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,(a) neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
