Michtam of David

1Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.

2O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to You;   Adonai^p.f.

3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4Their 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.

5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.   allotment

6The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.   boundaries

7I will bless the Lord, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.   conscience

8I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.   ACTS 2:25 | waver

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10For You will not leave my soul in hell; neither will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.   ACTS 2:31; ACTS 13:35 | the place of the dead; decay

11You will show me the path of life: in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
