⁰An inscription to David.

¹Keep me, God, for I have taken refuge in you.

²You said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my good is nothing beyond you.”

³As for the holy ones who are in the land—they and the majestic ones—all my delight is in them.

⁴Their pains will multiply, those who hurry after another. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, and I will not lift up their names on my lips.

⁵Yahweh is the share of my portion and of my cup; you hold up my lot.

⁶Measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed my inheritance is lovely to me.

⁷I will bless Yahweh, who has counseled me; even at night my kidneys instruct me.

⁸I have placed Yahweh in front of me always; for he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad and my weightiness rejoices; even my flesh will dwell in security.

¹⁰For you will not leave my being to Sheol; you will not give your faithful one to see the pit.

¹¹You will make known to me the path of life; an abundance of gladness is with your face; pleasant things are at your right hand perpetually.
