The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
1
Mikhtam. By David: Protect me, God, for you are my refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
2
I said to ADONAI, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good outside of you."
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
3
The holy people in the land are the ones who are worthy of honor; all my pleasure is in them.
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.
4
Those who run after another god multiply their sorrows; To such gods I will not offer drink offerings of blood or take their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
5
ADONAI, my assigned portion, my cup: you safeguard my share.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
6
Pleasant places were measured out for me; I am content with my heritage.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
7
I bless ADONAI, my counselor; at night my inmost being instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
8
I always set ADONAI before me; with him at my right hand, I can never be moved;
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
9
so my heart is glad, my glory rejoices, and my body too rests in safety;
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
10
for you will not abandon me to Sh'ol, you will not let your faithful one see the Abyss.
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.
11
You make me know the path of life; in your presence is unbounded joy, in your right hand eternal delight.
