When I think about your own people who live in this land,
    it makes me happy!
    They are truly great people!
But many troubles will come
    to people who choose to worship other gods.
I will not join with them
    to offer gifts of blood to their gods.
I will never use the names of their gods
    to make promises.
You, Lord, are all that I need.
What you give to me is enough,
    for me and for my descendants.

    or take up their names(E) on my lips.

Lord, you alone are my portion(F) and my cup;(G)
    you make my lot(H) secure.
