The Lord the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.
A Mikhtam of David.
aPreserve me, O God, for bI take refuge in You.
2 I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I ahave no good besides You.”
3 As for the asaints who are in the earth,
They are the majestic ones bin whom is all my delight.
4 The asorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of bblood,
Nor will I ctake their names upon my lips.
5 The Lord is the aportion of my inheritance and my bcup;
You support my clot.
6 The alines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is bbeautiful to me.
7 I will bless the Lord who has acounseled me;
Indeed, my bmind instructs me in the night.
8 aI have bset the Lord continually before me;
Because He is cat my right hand, dI will not be shaken.
9 Therefore amy heart is glad and bmy glory rejoices;
My flesh also will cdwell securely.
10 For You awill not abandon my soul to Sheol;
Nor will You ballow Your Holy One to undergo decay.
11 You will make known to me athe path of life;
In bYour presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are cpleasures forever.
