1 Michtam{H4387} of David{H1732}. Preserve{H8104}{(H8798)} me, O God{H410}: for in thee do I put my trust{H2620}{(H8804)}.

2 O my soul, thou hast said{H559}{(H8804)} unto the LORD{H3068}, Thou art my Lord{H136}: my goodness{H2896} extendeth not to thee;

3 But to the saints{H6918} that{H1992} are in the earth{H776}, and to the excellent{H117}, in whom is all my delight{H2656}.

4 Their sorrows{H6094} shall be multiplied{H7235}{(H8799)} that hasten{H4116}{(H8804)} after another{H312} god: their drink offerings{H5262} of blood{H1818} will I not offer{H5258}{(H8686)}, nor{H1077} take up{H5375}{(H8799)} their names{H8034} into my lips{H8193}.

5 The LORD{H3068} is the portion{H4490} of mine inheritance{H2506} and of my cup{H3563}: thou maintainest{H8551}{(H8802)} my lot{H1486}.

6 The lines{H2256} are fallen{H5307}{(H8804)} unto me in pleasant{H5273} places; yea, I have a goodly{H8231}{(H8804)} heritage{H5159}.

7 I will bless{H1288}{(H8762)} the LORD{H3068}, who hath given me counsel{H3289}{(H8804)}: my reins{H3629} also instruct{H3256}{(H8765)} me in the night seasons{H3915}.

8 I have set{H7737}{(H8765)} the LORD{H3068} always{H8548} before me: because he is at my right hand{H3225}, I shall not be moved{H4131}{(H8735)}.

9 Therefore my heart{H3820} is glad{H8055}{(H8804)}, and my glory{H3519} rejoiceth{H1523}{(H8799)}: my flesh{H1320} also shall rest{H7931}{(H8799)} in hope{H983}.

10 For thou wilt not leave{H5800}{(H8799)} my soul{H5315} in hell{H7585}; neither wilt thou suffer{H5414}{(H8799)} thine Holy One{H2623} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} corruption{H7845}.

11 Thou wilt shew{H3045}{(H8686)} me the path{H734} of life{H2416}: in thy presence{H6440} is fulness{H7648} of joy{H8057}; at thy right hand{H3225} there are pleasures{H5273} for evermore{H5331}.
