CSB Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleNET Bible
1Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.1A prayer of David. Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you.
2I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides you."2I say to the LORD, "You are the Lord, my only source of well-being."
3As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones. All my delight is in them.3As for God's chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much--
4The sorrows of those who take another god for themselves will multiply; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, and I will not speak their names with my lips.4their troubles multiply, they desire other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods, nor will I make vows in the name of their gods.
5LORD, you are my portion and my cup of blessing; you hold my future.5LORD, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure.
6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.6It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land.
7I will bless the LORD who counsels me--even at night when my thoughts trouble me.7I will praise the LORD who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.
8I always let the LORD guide me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.8I constantly trust in the LORD; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended.
9Therefore my heart is glad and my whole being rejoices; my body also rests securely.9So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.
10For you will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful one to see decay.10You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit.
11You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.11You lead me in the path of life; I experience absolute joy in your presence; you always give me sheer delight.
