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.
