1 bPreserve me, O God, for cI take refuge in You.2 ▼

my Lord;I fhave no good besides You.”
3As for the ▼
▼ Lit holy ones; i.e. the godly
,
hsaints who are in the earth,▼
▼ Lit And the majestic ones...delight
They are the majestic ones jin whom is all my delight.4The ▼
▼ I.e. sorrows due to idolatry
,
lsorrows of those who have ▼▼ Or hastened to
bartered for another god will be multiplied;I shall not pour out their drink offerings of nblood,
Nor will I otake their names upon my lips.
5The Lord is the pportion of my inheritance and my qcup;
You support my rlot.
6The slines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is tbeautiful to me.
7I will bless the Lord who has ucounseled me;
Indeed, my ▼
▼ Lit kidneys, figurative for inner man
,
wmind instructs me in the night.8 xI have yset the Lord continually before me;
Because He is zat my right hand, aaI will not be shaken.
9Therefore abmy heart is glad and acmy glory rejoices;
My flesh also will addwell securely.
10For You aewill not abandon my soul to ▼
▼ I.e. the nether world
Sheol;Nor will You ▼
▼ Lit give
,
ahallow Your ▼▼ Or godly one
Holy One to ▼▼ Or see corruption or the pit
undergo decay.11You will make known to me akthe path of life;
In alYour presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are ampleasures forever.
