TEXT:

But for me, to be near God is my good, to make the Lord God my refuge.

1. Yet I was always in Your presence; You were holding me by my right hand. You will guide me by Your counsel and so You will lead me to glory.

2. Apart from You I want nothing; to be near my God is my joy. I have made the Lord my refuge and God is my possession for ever.
