JOY IN YOUR PRESENCE, NOW AND ALWAYS

Protect me, God, for you are my refuge. I said to Adonai, “You are my Lord; I have nothing

good outside of you.” The holy people in the land are the ones who are worthy of honor; all

my pleasure^H2656 is in them. . . I always set Adonai before me; with him at my right hand, I

can never be moved; so my heart is glad^H8055, my glory rejoices^H1523, and my body too rests

in safety; for you will not abandon me to Sh’ol, you will not let your faithful one see the

Abyss. You make me know the path of life; in your presence is unbounded joy^H8057, in your

right hand eternal delight^H5273.

Psalm 16:1-3, 8-11 (CJB)
