    Note 2: (our lot is cast in a goodly heritage)

    This is from the Bible, Psalm 16:7, but it is from the Prayer Book version. This is the Psalm from the King James Version, which places the quotation in Psalm 16:6.

    16:1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
    16:2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
    16:3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
    16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
    16:5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
    16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
    16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
    16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
    16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
    16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
    16:11       Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
