^{1 Ref} A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

^{2 Ref} Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou `art';' My good `is' not for thine own sake;

^{3 Ref} For the holy ones who `are' in the land, And the honourable, all my delight `is' in them.

^{4 Ref} Multiplied are their griefs, `Who' have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.

^{5 Ref} Jehovah `is' the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot.

^{6 Ref} Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance `is' for me.

^{7 Ref} I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also `in' the nights my reins instruct me.

^{8 Ref} I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.

^{9 Ref} Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:

^{10 Ref} For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

^{11 Ref} Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys `is' with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!

^{1 Ref} <Michtam. Of David.> Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.

^{2 Ref} O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

^{3 Ref} As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

^{4 Ref} Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.

^{5 Ref} The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.

^{6 Ref} Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.

^{7 Ref} I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.

^{8 Ref} I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

^{9 Ref} Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.

^{10 Ref} For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

^{11 Ref} You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.

^{1 Ref} > Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.

^{2 Ref} My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."

^{3 Ref} As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

^{4 Ref} Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take their names on my lips.

^{5 Ref} Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

^{6 Ref} The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

^{7 Ref} I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

^{8 Ref} I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

^{10 Ref} For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, Neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

^{11 Ref} You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
