The presence of God

(Acts 2:14-36)
1
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, || And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
4
Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, || Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, || You uphold my lot.
6
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, || Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8
I placed YHWH before me continually, || Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9
Therefore my heart has been glad, || And my glory rejoices, || Also my flesh dwells confidently:
10
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, || Nor give your Holy One to see corruption.
11
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, || Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!

The presence of God

(Acts 2:14-36)
1
Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2
My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
3
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4
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.
5
The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs 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 tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,(a) neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11
You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
