1A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You. 2You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You; 3For the holy ones who [are] in the land, "" And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them. 4Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, "" Nor do I take up their names on my lips. 5YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, "" You uphold my lot. 6Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, "" Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me. 7I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me. 8I placed YHWH before me continually, "" Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved. 9Therefore my heart has been glad, "" And my glory rejoices, "" Also my flesh dwells confidently: 10For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, "" Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. 11You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, "" Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever! |
