| [1]Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. |
[1]A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee. |
| [2]O my soul, thou hast said to the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; |
[2]Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake; |
| [3]But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. |
[3]For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them. |
| [4]Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips. |
[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]The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. |
[5]Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot. |
| [6]The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage. |
[6]Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me. |
| [7]I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season. |
[7]I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me. |
| [8]I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
[8]I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved. |
| [9]Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. |
[9]Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently: |
| [10]For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. |
[10]For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. |
| [11]Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore. |
[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! |
