¹ Protect me, O God,
for I take refuge in you.
² Oh my soul you have said^[c] to Yahweh, "You are my Lord.
I have no good apart from you."
³ With regard to the saints who are in the land,
they are the noble ones in whom is all my desire.
⁴ Those who hurry after^[d] another god increase their sorrows.
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
nor take up their names on my lips.
⁵ Yahweh is the portion which is my share and my cup.
You hold my lot.
⁶ The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.
Yes, my inheritance is delightful for me.
⁷ I will bless Yahweh who advises me;
yes, at night my innermost being^[e] instructs me.
⁸ I have set Yahweh before me always.
Because he is at my right hand I will not be shaken.
⁹ Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices.
Yes, my body will dwell in safety,
¹⁰ for you will not abandon my soul to Sheol;
you will not give your faithful one to see the grave.
¹¹ You will make known to me the path of life.
In your presence is fullness of joy.
At your right hand are pleasures forever.
