1[[Mikhtam [meaning disputed] of David [Beloved].]] Preserve me, O God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for in youⁱ do I put my trust.

2[O my soul], youⁱ have said unto the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], youⁱ [are] my Lord-Adonai (The Father)[Greatest Above All Things]: my goodness [extends] not to youⁱ;

3[But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.

4Their 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.

5The LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: youⁱ maintain my lot.

6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7I will bless the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], who has given me counsel: my reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion) also instruct me in the night seasons.

8I have set the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10For youⁱ will not leave my soul in hell; neither will youⁱ suffer yourⁱ Holy One to see corruption.

11youⁱ will show me the path of life: in yourⁱ presence [is] fullness of joy; at yourⁱ right hand [there are] pleasures forevermore.
