The Lord is my portion,
I am keeping His Word;
Without a distortion,
False prophets I have heard.
I entreat His favor,
With my entire heart;
For He is my Savior,
Who will never depart.
He is gracious to me,
For keeping His promise;
Knowing that I will see,
Upon His fair justice.
When I think on my way,
I hear Him testify;
So that I do not stray,
And never to deny.
I will never delay,
To keep His commandments;
And to trust and obey,
As per His testaments.
The bands of the wicked,
Their cords try to ensnare;
He will not be thwarted,
By the Law He does share.
I will rise up to praise,
As for His righteous rules;
To honor Him always,
Another ridicules.
He is my companion,
As I keep His precepts;
A bridge for the canyon,
To cross for His concepts.
Because His steadfast love,
Keeps me in His statutes;
With blessings from above,
Grows my faith with deep roots.
