1
A Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You."
3
As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
4
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.
5
O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
6
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7
I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8
I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
