Michtam of David.{HR}Preserve me, O God, for I have trusted in thee.
Thou hast said unto Jehovah,{HR}Thou [art] the . Lord:{HR}My goodness [is] not to thee;
Unto the saints which are upon the earth,{HR}[Even] them, and the excellent,{HR}All my delight [is] in them.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied;{HR}They have hastened [after] another;{HR}I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,{HR}And I will not take their names upon my lips.
Jehovah [is] the portion of mine inheritance and my cup;{HR}Thou maintainest my lot.
The lines have fallen unto me in pleasant places,{HR}Yea, the portion hath been fair to me.
I will bless Jehovah who hath counselled me;{HR}Also by night my reins have admonished me.
I have set Jehovah before me always;{HR}Because [he is] at my right hand,{HR}I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart hath been glad,{HR}And my soul rejoiceth;{HR}My flesh also shall lie down in confidence.
For thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol;{HR}Thou wilt not suffer thine holy one to see corruption.
Thou wilt show me the path of life,{HR}Fullness of joys in thy presence,{HR}Pleasures at thy right hand forever.
