PSALM 16. Second Part. (L. M.) Christ's All-sufficiency.
I
How fast their guilt and sorrows rise,Who haste to seek some idol god!
I will not taste their sacrifice,
Their offerings of forbidden blood.
II
My God provides a richer cup,A nobler food to live upon;
He for my life has offered up
Jesus his best beloved Son.
III
His love is my perpetual feast;By day his counsels guide me right;
And be his name for ever blest,
Who gives me sweet advice by night.
IV
I set him still before mine eyes;At my right hand he stands prepar'd
To keep my soul from all surprise,
And be my everlasting guard.
