[1] Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge. [2] I have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; my welfare has no existence outside of You." [3] For the holy ones who are in the land, they are the majestic ones; in them is all my delight. [4] Those who chase after other gods, their sorrows will be multiplied; their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor lift their names on my lips. [5] The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; You support my lot. [6] The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, an inheritance is beautiful for me. [7] I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; my affections also instruct me in the night seasons. [8] I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be moved. [9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will rest in security. [10] For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You suffer Your godly one to see corruption. [11] You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
