| 1A Mikhtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. | 1A prayer of David. Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you. |
| 2I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You." | 2I say to the LORD, "You are the Lord, my only source of well-being." |
| 3As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. | 3As for God's chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much-- |
| 4The sorrows 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. | 4their troubles multiply, they desire other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods, nor will I make vows in the name of their gods. |
| 5The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. | 5LORD, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure. |
| 6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. | 6It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land. |
| 7I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. | 7I will praise the LORD who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn. |
| 8I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. | 8I constantly trust in the LORD; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended. |
| 9Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. | 9So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe. |
| 10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. | 10You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit. |
| 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. | 11You lead me in the path of life; I experience absolute joy in your presence; you always give me sheer delight. |
