| 1 | A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. | 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 | I said to YHWH, “You are my Lord. My goodness is nothing apart from You.” | 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 | As for the holy ones who are in the land, they and the excellent ones, all my delight is in them. | 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 | May their sorrows be multiplied, those who hurry after another! I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, and I will not lift up their names upon my lips. | 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 | YHWH, is the portion of my share, and my cup; You are the One upholding 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 | The lines have fallen to me in the pleasant places; indeed, a pleasing inheritance is unto me. | 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 will bless YHWH, who counsels me; even in the nights, my kidneys instruct me. | 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 have set YHWH before me continually; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. | 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 | Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will dwell securely. | 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 You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, and You will not give Your 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 | You make known to me the path of life; fullness of joys is with Your face, pleasant things are at Your right hand forever. | 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. | |
