Psalm 119:57

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Thou my sure portion art alone, which I did chuse, O Lord: I have resolv'd, and said, that I would keep thy holy word.

See the chapter Copy

God is of mine inheritance and cup the portion; The lot that fallen is to me thou dost maintain alone.

I cry'd to thee; I said, Thou art my refuge, Lord, alone; And in the land of those that live thou art my portion.

My flesh and heart doth faint and fail, but God doth fail me never: For of my heart God is the strength and portion for ever.

All ye that evil-doers are from me depart away; For the commandments of my God I purpose to obey.

I sworn have, and I will perform, to keep thy judgments right.

Which my lips utter'd, my mouth spake, when trouble on me lay.

Blessed are they who to observe his statutes are inclin'd; And who do seek the living God with their whole heart and mind.
