The presence of God

(Acts 2:14-36)
1
The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.(a)
2
I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
3
As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
4
Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.
5
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
6
The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.(b)
7
I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
8
I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
9
Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
10
For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11
You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.

(a)15:1 The inscription of a title:That is, of a pillar or monument, staylographia: which is as much as to say, that this psalm is most worthy to be engraved on an everlasting monument.(Challoner)
(b)15:6 The word ‘funes’ refers to a string or line or cord that is used in a manner similar to casting lots, to decide upon someone’s place or to decide upon future events.(Conte)

The presence of God

(Acts 2:14-36)
1
Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2
My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
3
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5
The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs 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 tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,(a) neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11
You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
