1Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
5Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
