1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You. 2 I^a said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You."^b 3 As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who take another [god] for themselves multiply;^c I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,^d and I will not speak their names with my lips. 5 Lord, You are my portion^e and my cup [of blessing]; You hold my future. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I will praise the Lord who counsels me- even at night my conscience instructs me. 8 I keep the Lord in mind^f always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoices; my body also rests securely. 10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol; You will not allow Your Faithful One to see the Pit.^g ^h 11 You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.ⁱ
