| 1Keep me safe, God, for I take refuge in you. | 1A miktam of David. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. |
| 2I told the LORD, "You are my master, I have nothing good apart from you." | 2I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." |
| 3As for the saints that are in the land, they are noble, and all my delight is in them. | 3I say of the holy people who are in the land, "They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight." |
| 4Those who hurry after another god will have many sorrows; I will not present their drink offerings of blood, nor will my lips speak their names. | 4Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips. |
| 5The LORD is my inheritance and my cup; you support my lot. | 5LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. |
| 6The boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places for me; truly, I have a beautiful heritage. | 6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. |
| 7I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; indeed, my conscience instructs me during the night. | 7I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. |
| 8I have set the LORD before me continuously; because he stands at my right hand, I will stand firm. | 8I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. |
| 9Therefore, my heart is glad, my whole being rejoices, and my body will dwell securely. | 9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, |
| 10For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, you will not allow your holy one to experience corruption. | 10because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. |
| 11You cause me to know the path of life; in your presence is joyful abundance, at your right hand there are pleasures forever. | 11You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. |
