[1] Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
[2] O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good
but you. [3] As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in
whom is all my delight. [4] Their sorrows will be increased who go after
another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take
their names on my lips. [5] The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup;
you are the supporter of my right. [6] Fair are the places marked out for
me; I have a noble heritage. [7] I will give praise to the Lord who has
been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night. [8] I
have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I
will not be moved. [9] Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is
full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope. [10] For you will not
let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one
see the place of death. [11] You will make clear to me the way of life;
where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for
ever and ever.
