4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou art he that restores my inheritance to me.
6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yea, I have a most excellent heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even † Possibly, during the night. q. d. as long as night lasted. till night.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
