1 Of the meek and simple, the psalm of David. Lord, keep thou me, for I have hoped in thee; (To the humble and the innocent, the song of David. Lord, keep thou me safe, for I put my trust in thee;)
|
1 Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
|
|
2 I said to the Lord, Thou art my God; for thou hast no need of my goods. (I said to the Lord, Thou art my God; and every good thing that I have, cometh from thee.)
|
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
|
|
3 To the saints that be in the land of him; he made wonderful all my wills in them. (To the wonderful saints of him who be in the land; in whom be 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 The sicknesses of them be multiplied; afterward they hasted. I shall not gather together the conventicles, either little covents/or small covents, of them of bloods; and I shall not be mindful of their names by my lips. (May the sicknesses of those who hasten after other gods, be multiplied. I shall not offer their blood offerings; and I shall not remember, or speak, their names with 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] part of mine heritage, and of my passion; thou art, that shall restore mine heritage to me. (The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup; thou art he, who shall restore my inheritance to me.)
|
5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
|
|
6 Cords felled to me in full clear things; for mine heritage is full clear to me. (The cords, or the boundary-lines, fell to me in pleasant places; I am well content with my inheritance.)
|
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
|
|
7 I shall bless the Lord, that hath given understanding to me; furthermore and my reins have blamed me unto the night. (I shall bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding; and furthermore my innards have taught me, that is, my conscience hath taught me, in the night.)
|
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
|
|
8 I saw before (me) ever[more] the Lord in my sight; for he is at the right half to me, that I be not moved. (I see the Lord before me forevermore; for he is at my right hand, and I shall not be moved/and I cannot be shaken.)
|
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
|
|
9 For this thing mine heart was glad, and my tongue joyed fully; furthermore and my flesh shall rest in hope. (For this thing my heart was glad, and my tongue full out joyed, or rejoiced; and furthermore, my flesh shall rest with trust, or with confidence.)
|
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
|
|
10 For thou shalt not leave my soul in hell; neither thou shalt give thine holy (man) to see corruption. (For thou shalt not leave my soul in Sheol, or the land of the dead; nor shalt thou allow thy holy man to see corruption, or decay.)
|
10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
|
|
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt [full-]fill me with gladness with thy cheer; delightings be in thy right half unto the end. (Thou hast made known to me the way of life; thou shalt fill me full of gladness when I go before thee; delights be at thy right hand forever.)
|
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.
