Watch over me, O God, for I put my trust in You.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their sacrifices I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.

Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup. Psalm 16:5a Happy the man who sees a God employed in all the good and ill that checkers life. William Cowper, English poet and hymnwriter, 1731-1800
