A miktam of David.
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2
I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3
I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom 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.
5
LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8
I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
10
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
