The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure. Begin Abide·

The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful. Begin Abide·

I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me. Begin Abide·

You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. Begin Abide·
