| 1 | <Michtam. Of David.> Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith. |
| 2 | O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you. |
| 3 | As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight. |
| 4 | Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips. |
| 5 | The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right. |
| 6 | Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage. |
| 7 | I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night. |
| 8 | I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved. |
| 9 | Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope. |
| 10 | For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. |
| 11 | You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever. |
