1 A miktam of David. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.” I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.” As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides. As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
4 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. Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with 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.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure. The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him 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 will not be shaken. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
11 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. You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
