1: Keep me safe, O God, I've run for dear life to you.
2: I say to GOD, "Be my Lord!" Without you, nothing makes sense.
3: And these God--chosen lives all around--what splendid friends they make!
4: Don't just go shopping for a god. Gods are not for sale. I swear I'll never treat god-names like brand-names.
5: My choice is you, GOD, first and only. And now I find I'm your choice!
6: You set me up with a house and yard. And then you made me your heir!
7: The wise counsel GOD gives when I'm awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart.
8: Day and night I'll stick with GOD; I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go.
9: I'm happy from the inside out, and from the outside in, I'm firmly formed.
10: You canceled my ticket to hell--that's not my destination!
11: Now you've got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I'm on the right way. A David prayer
