The presence of God

(Acts 2:14-36)
1
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.(a)
2
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord , Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.(b)
5
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.(c)
6
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7
I will bless the Lord , who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.(d)
10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
