A Poem by David.

[1] Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
[2] My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord.
Apart from you I have no good thing.”
[3] As for the saints who are in the earth,
they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight. [4] Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god.
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,
nor take their names on my lips.
[5] Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup.
You made my lot secure. [6] The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
[7] I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel.
Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
[8] I have set Yahweh always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
[9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.
My body shall also dwell in safety.
[10] For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,ⓘ
neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
[11] You will show me the path of life.
In your presence is fullness of joy.
In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

Michtam H4387 of David. H1732

[1] Preserve H8104 (QalImpv) me, O God: H410
For in thee do I put my trust. H2620 (QalPerf)
[2] O my soul, thou hast said H559 (QalPerf) unto the Lord, H3068
Thou art my Lord: H136 My goodness H2896 extendeth not to thee;
[3] But to the saints H6918 that H1992 are in the earth, H776
And to the excellent, H117 in whom is all my delight. H2656
[4] Their sorrows H6094 shall be multiplied H7235 (QalImpf) that hasten H4116 (QalPerf) after another§ H312 god:
Their drink offerings H5262 of blood H1818 will I not offer, H5258 (HiphImpf)
Nor H1077 take up H5375 (QalImpf) their names H8034 into my lips. H8193
[5] The Lord H3068 is the portion H4490 of mine§ inheritance H2506 and of my cup: H3563
Thou maintainest H8551 (QalActPtc) my lot. H1486
[6] The lines H2256 are fallen H5307 (QalPerf) unto me in pleasant H5273 places;
Yea, I have a goodly H8231 (QalPerf) heritage. H5159
[7] I will bless H1288 (PielImpf) the Lord, H3068 who hath given me counsel: H3289 (QalPerf)

[8] I have set H7737 (PielPerf) the Lord H3068 always H8548 before me:

[9] Therefore my heart H3820 is glad, H8055 (QalPerf) and my glory H3519 rejoiceth: H1523 (QalImpf)
My flesh H1320 also shall rest H7931 (QalImpf) in hope. H983§
[10] For thou wilt not leave H5800 (QalImpf) my soul H5315 in hell; H7585

[11] Thou wilt shew H3045 (HiphImpf) me the path H734 of life: H2416 In thy presence H6440 is fulness H7648 of joy; H8057
At thy right hand H3225 there are pleasures H5273 for evermore. H5331
