| New International Version | New Living Translation |
| 1A miktam of David. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. | 1Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. |
| 2I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." | 2I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” |
| 3I say of the holy people who are in the land, "They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight." | 3The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them! |
| 4Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips. | 4Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods. |
| 5LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. | 5LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. |
| 6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. | 6The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! |
| 7I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. | 7I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. |
| 8I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. | 8I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. |
| 9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, | 9No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. |
| 10because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. | 10For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. |
| 11You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. | 11You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. |
