| 1 <> Preserve me, O God, for in Thee do I put my trust. | 1 Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge. |
| 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, "Thou art my Lord; my goodness extendeth not to Thee, | 2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." |
| 3 but to the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent, 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, that hasten after another god; their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names upon 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 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup; Thou maintainest my lot. | 5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. |
| 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. | 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. |
| 7 I will bless the LORD who hath given me counsel; my reins also instruct 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 spirit rejoiceth; my flesh also shall rest in hope. | 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, |
| 10 For Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt Thou suffer Thine 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 Thou wilt show me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. | 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. |
