You Will Not Forsake My Soul 1Keep me, O God, for I take refuge in You. 2O my soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are [†]my Lord; I have no good without You.” 3As for the [†]saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. 4The [†]pains of those who have [†]bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. 5Yahweh is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. 6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me. 7I will bless Yahweh who has counseled me; Indeed, my [†]mind instructs me in the night. 8I have set Yahweh continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. 10For You will not forsake my soul to Sheol; You will not give Your [†]Holy One over to see [†]corruption. 11You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
