The Presence of the LORD
(Acts 2:14–36)
A Miktam of David. 1Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge. 2I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.” 3As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides. 4Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips. 5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure. 6The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful. 7I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.Or my heart instructs me; Hebrew my kidneys instruct me 8I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.LXX I foresaw 9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.LXX will dwell in hope 10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.Cited in Acts 13:35 11You 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.Cited in Acts 2:25–28
