1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
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 shalt mainteine my lot.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more.
