1: Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
|
|
2: O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee; |
|
3:
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent,
in whom is all my delight. |
|
4: Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another
god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their
names into my lips. |
|
5: The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
thou maintainest my lot. |
|
6: The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage. |
|
7: I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins
also instruct me in the night seasons. |
|
8: I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my
right hand, I shall not be moved. |
|
9: Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
also shall rest in hope. |
|
10: For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |
|
11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is
fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. |
