|
1 A Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
|
1 Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
|
|
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You."
|
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
|
|
3 As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
|
3 As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
|
|
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.
|
4 The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.
|
|
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
|
5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
|
|
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.
|
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
|
|
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
|
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
|
|
8 I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
|
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
|
|
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
|
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
|
|
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
|
10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
|
|
11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
|
11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
