SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th

"Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death"

1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.


8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:


9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:


10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.


11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
