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

2My soul, you have said to Adonai, “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 deity. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,
nor take their names on my lips.

5Adonai 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 Adonai, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

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

9³¹Therefore my heart is glad, and my kavod ·weighty glory· rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

10³²For you will not leave my soul in Sheol ·Place of the dead·, ³³neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. ³⁴

11You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. ³⁵In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
