| NET Bible | New International Version |
| 1A prayer of David. Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you. | 1A miktam of David. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. |
| 2I say to the LORD, "You are the Lord, my only source of well-being." | 2I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." |
| 3As for God's chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much-- | 3I say of the holy people who are in the land, "They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight." |
| 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. | 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. |
| 5LORD, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure. | 5LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. |
| 6It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land. | 6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. |
| 7I will praise the LORD who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn. | 7I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. |
| 8I constantly trust in the LORD; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended. | 8I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. |
| 9So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe. | 9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, |
| 10You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit. | 10because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. |
| 11You lead me in the path of life; I experience absolute joy in your presence; you always give me sheer delight. | 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. |
