Psalms

Michtam of David.

1Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

2O my soul, thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.

3As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.

5Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.

6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.

8I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall dwell in safety.

10For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

11Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

A Poem by David.

1Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

2My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord.Apart from you I have no good thing.”

3As for the saints who are in the earth,they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god.Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.

5The LORD assigned my portion and my cup.You made my lot secure.

6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.Yes, I have a good inheritance.

7I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel.Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

8I have set the LORD always before me.Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.My body shall also dwell in safety.

10For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

11You will show me the path of life.In your presence is fullness of joy.In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
