[1] Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. [2] I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You." [3] As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. [4] The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. [5] The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. [6] The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. [7] I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. [8] I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. [9] Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. [10] For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. [11] You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
