The people of my choice.

And worship wood or stone;

Where the true God is known.

He fills my daily cup;
Much am I pleas'd with present good,
But more rejoice in hope.

His counsels are my light:
He gives me sweet advice by day,
And gentle hints by night.

To his all-seeing eye;
Not death nor hell my hope shall move
While such a friend is nigh. Scripture: Psalm 16:1-8 Languages: English
