Michtam
of David.
Preserve
me, O God:
for in thee do I put my trust.
O my soul, thou hast said
unto the LORD,
Thou art my Lord:
my goodness
extendeth not to thee;
But to the saints
that
are in the earth,
and to the excellent,
in whom is all my delight.
Their sorrows
shall be multiplied
that hasten
after another
god: their drink offerings
of blood
will I not offer,
nor
take up
their names
into my lips.

The LORD
is the portion
of mine inheritance
and of my cup:
thou maintainest
my lot.
The lines
are fallen
unto me in pleasant
places; yea, I have a goodly
heritage.
I will bless
the LORD,
who hath given me counsel:
my reins
also instruct
me in the night seasons.
I have set
the LORD
always
before me: because he is at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart
is glad,
and my glory
rejoiceth:
my flesh
also shall rest
in hope.
For thou wilt not leave
my soul
in hell;
neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One
to see
corruption.
Thou wilt shew
me the path
of life:
in thy presence
is fulness
of joy;
at thy right hand
there are pleasures
for evermore.
