1 The golden psalme of Dauid. Preserue me O Lorde: for I haue reposed my trust in thee. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. A miktam of David. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 Thou hast sayde O my soule vnto God, thou art my Lorde: my weldoing can do thee no good. I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 But all my delyght is to do good vnto the saintes that are in the earth: and vnto such as excell in vertue. As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones 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. The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. Those 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.
5 O God, thou thy selfe art the portion of myne inheritaunce and of my cup: thou wylt mayntayne my lot. The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 My lot is fallen vnto me in a pleasaut grounde: I haue a goodly heritage. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I wyll prayse God who gaue me counsayle: my reines also do instruct me in the nyght season. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I haue set God alwayes before me: for he is on my ryght hande, therfore I shall not be remoued. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Wherfore my heart is glad: my glory reioyceth, my fleshe also shall rest in a securitie. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
10 For thou wylt not leaue my soule in hell: neither wylt thou suffer thyne holy one to see corruption. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
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. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
