New International Version NIV
The Darby Translation DBY
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
1
{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
2
Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; --
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
3
To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
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
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
5
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
6
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
7
I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
8
I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
9
Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
10
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.
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
Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
