I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods

or take up their names on my lips.

5 Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;

you make my lot secure.

6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

surely I have a delightful inheritance.

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.

5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:

Thou maintainest my lot.

6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;

Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.

You guard all that is mine.

6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land.

What a wonderful inheritance!

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;

Yes, I have a good inheritance.

4 But those who turn to idols

will have much pain.

I will not offer blood to those idols

or even speak their names.

5 No, the Lord is all I need.

He takes care of me.

6 My share in life has been pleasant;

my part has been beautiful.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god:

Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,

Nor take their names upon my lips.

5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:

Thou maintainest my lot.

6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;

Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips. 5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

You are the one who determines my destiny. 

6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me. 

Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful. 

4 The sorrows of those who take another god

for themselves will multiply;

I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,

and I will not speak their names with my lips.

and my cup of blessing;

You hold my future.

in pleasant places;
