O God, my refuge, keep me safe

O God, my refuge, keep me safe:
on you my good depends;
O Lord, you are my Lord alone,
your saints my choicest friends.

2. Whoever turns to other gods
will find remorse and shame;
to them I make no sacrifice,
nor will I speak their name.

3. The Lord is my inheritance,
a prize beyond compare;
his word instructs me day and night,
his own beloved heir.

4. At all times I have set the Lord
before my face to stand;
no trial, no pain can shake my hope
with him at my right hand.

5. My heart and soul rejoice in you
and in your power to save:
you will not leave your Holy One
to perish in the grave.

6. You lead me to the path of life,
before your face to stand
and drink my fill of endless joys
that flow at your right hand.
