King James Version
KJV
[1] Preserue me O Lorde: for I haue reposed my trust in thee [1]Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
[2]Thou hast sayde [O my soule] vnto God, thou art my Lorde: my weldoing [can do] thee no good [2]O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
[3]But all my delyght is [to do good] vnto the saintes that are in the earth: and vnto such as excell in vertue [3]But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
[4]As for them that runne [after] another [God] they shall haue great trouble: I wyll not offer their drynke offerynges of blood, neither wyll I make mention of their names within my lyppes [4]Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
[5]O God, thou thy selfe art the portion of myne inheritaunce and of my cup: thou wylt mayntayne my lot [5]The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
[6]My lot is fallen vnto me in a pleasaut [grounde:] I [haue] a goodly heritage [6]The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
[7]I wyll prayse God who gaue me counsayle: my reines also do instruct me in the nyght season [7]I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
[8]I haue set God alwayes before me: for he is on my ryght hande, [therfore] I shall not be remoued [8]I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
[9]Wherfore my heart is glad: my glory reioyceth, my fleshe also shall rest in a securitie [9]Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
[10]For thou wylt not leaue my soule in hell: neither wylt thou suffer thyne holy one to see corruption [10]For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
[11]Thou wylt cause me to knowe the path of lyfe: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy, and at thy right hand there be pleasures for euermore [11]Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
