[1]PRESERVE me, O God; for in thee do I put my trust.[2]I have said unto the LORD, Thou art my LORD, and my goodness cometh from thee;[3]I said it also to the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.[4]The sorrows of the wicked shall be multiplied in rapid succession that I may not pour out their libations of blood; nor will I mention their names with my lips.[5]The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; thou shalt restore my inheritance.[6]My portion of the land fell to me in goodly places; yea, I have been pleased with my heritage.[7]I will bless the LORD, for he has given me counsel; my intuition also guides me during the night.[8]I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.[9]Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; my flesh also shall rest in hope.[10]For thou hast left not my soul in Sheol; neither hast thou suffered thy Holy One to see corruption.[11]Thou wilt show me the path of life, and I shall be filled with the joy of thy countenance, with the pleasure of victory of thy right hand.
