- 1
- {Michtam of David.}
Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
- 2
- Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
—
- 3
- To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
- 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
- Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
- 6
- The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;
yea, I have a goodly heritage.
- 7
- I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel;
even in the nights my reins instruct me.
- 8
- I have set Jehovah continually before me;
because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
- 9
- Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth;
my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
- 10
- For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.
- 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.
