| [1]A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee. |
[1]Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I trust. |
| [2]Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake; |
[2]O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my well doing extendeth not to thee, |
| [3]For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them. |
[3]But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delight is in them. |
| [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. |
[4]The sorrows of them, that offer to another god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips. |
| [5]Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot. |
[5]The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt maintain my lot. |
| [6]Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me. |
[6]The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places: yea, I have a fair heritage. |
| [7]I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me. |
[7]I will praise the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also teach me in the nights. |
| [8]I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved. |
[8]I have set the Lord always before me: for he is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide. |
| [9]Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently: |
[9]Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue rejoiceth: my flesh also doth rest in hope. |
| [10]For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. |
[10]For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. |
| [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! |
[11]Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is the fullness of joy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. |
