The Lord is (A)my chosen portion and my (B)cup;
    you hold my (C)lot.
(D)The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless the Lord who (E)gives me counsel;
    in (F)the night also my (G)heart instructs me.[a]
(H)I have (I)set the Lord always before me;
    because he is at my (J)right hand, I shall not be (K)shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my (L)whole being[b] rejoices;
    my flesh also dwells secure.
