1 Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.
1
Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”

I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
3
I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.
4
Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.
5
LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful 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 guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
7
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
8
I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.
9
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
10
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
11
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
