New Living Translation | English Standard Version |
1Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. | 1Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. |
2I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” | 2I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” |
3The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them! | 3As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. |
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. | 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. |
5LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. | 5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. |
6The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! | 6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. |
7I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. | 7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. |
8I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. | 8I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. |
9No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. | 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. |
10For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. | 10For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. |
11You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. | 11You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. |
