New Living Translation NLT
English Standard Version ESV
1 Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.
1
Preserve me, O 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.”
2
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you. ”
3 The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
3
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent 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
The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.
5
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!
6
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
7
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also 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 have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall 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 whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
10
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
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; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
