##(Verse 1)
You give marvelous comrades to me;
the faithful who dwell in your land.
Those who choose alien gods
have chosen an alien band.

##(Verse 2)
You are my portion and cup;
it is you who I claim for my prize.
Your heritage is my delight,
the lot you have given to me.

##(Verse 3)
Glad are my heart and my soul;
securely my body shall rest.
For you will not leave me for dead,
nor lead your beloved astray.

##(Verse 4)
You show me the path for my life;
in your presence the fullness of joy.
To be at your right hand forever
for me would be happiness always.

##(Chorus 1)
For you are my god; you alone are my joy. Defend me, O Lord!
