New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.
1
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”
2
Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3 The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
3
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
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
Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I 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
Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot.
6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!
6
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7 I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
7
I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
8
I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.
9 No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.
9
Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
10
For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to 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
Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
