3. For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
4. Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5. Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou--Thou dost uphold my lot.
6. Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7. I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8. I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because--at my right hand I am not moved.
9. Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
10. For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.
11. Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
