A Psalm
Over the last couple of years, I’ve tried (in a non-details, change-is-as-good-as-a-rest kind of way) to follow the lectionary readings of the C of E each morning. One of the best things about this is reading a couple of Psalms each morning…. And this morning reminded me again why that’s a good idea:
Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.Psalm 16:5-11 (TNIV)
