Michtam of David. <BR>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.
