1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.
2 I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord;I have nothing good besides You.”
3 As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones.All my delight is in them.
4 The sorrows of those who take another godfor themselves will multiply;I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,and I will not speak their names with my lips.
5 Lord, You are my portion and my cup of blessing;You hold my future.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for mein pleasant places;indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I will praise the Lord who counsels me —even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 I keep the Lord in mind always.Because He is at my right hand,I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is gladand my spirit rejoices;my body also rests securely.
10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol; You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay.
11 You reveal the path of life to me;in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.
