3^rd Sunday after Pentecost

Psalm 16, paraphrased by Pastor William

I come to you, God, for protection;

          I cling to you in time of trouble;

          without you, I am a lost cause.

Those who follow you are trustworthy;

          they are a comfort to me.

Those who follow other gods are corrupt;

          they cause me trouble and despair.

My first choice is you;

          for you have already chosen me!

I boast about your love and guidance;

          you comfort me in my fears.

You are always on my mind;

          in my waking thoughts and dreams.

My heart is joyous, my soul rejoices,

          my body rests in your shelter.

You rescued me from the gates of hell;

you protect me from the power of evil.

You have me walking on your path;

          your light is leading my way;

          your hand is guiding me.
