| 1A Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. | 1Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. |
| 2O my soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.” | 2I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” |
| 3As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” | 3As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. |
| 4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips. | 4The 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. |
| 5O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. | 5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. |
| 6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance. | 6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. |
| 7I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. | 7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. |
| 8I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. | 8I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. |
| 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. | 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. |
| 10For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. | 10For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. |
| 11You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. | 11You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. |
