1.    Michtam of David.
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
 
2.    O my soul, thou hast said to the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
 
3.    But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
 
4.    Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips.
 
5.    The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
 
6.    The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage.
 
7.    I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season.
 
8.    I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
 
9.    Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
 
10.    For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
 
11.    Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
