1. Guard me, O Ěl, for I have taken refuge in You.
2. I have said to יהוה, “You are יהוה, I have no good beside You.”
3. As for the set-apart ones who are on the earth, They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
4. The sorrows of those who run after another one are increased; I would not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor take up their names on my lips.
5. יהוה is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You uphold my lot.
6. Boundary lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, a good inheritance is mine.
7. I bless יהוה who has given me counsel; My kidneys also instruct me in the nights.
8. I have set יהוה always before me; Because He is at my right hand I am not shaken.
9. Therefore my heart was glad, and my esteem rejoices; My flesh also dwells in safety.
10. For You do not leave my being in the grave, Neither let Your Kind One see corruption.
11. You show me the path of life; In Your presence is joy to satisfaction; At Your right hand are pleasures forever.
