1 Be shomer over me, O El: for in Thee do I hide myself.
2 I said unto Hashem, Thou art Adonoi of me; besides Thee I have no good;
3 But to the Kadoshim that are in ha'aretz, they are the glorious ones, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after other g-ds; their nesakhim (drink offerings) of dahm will I not offer, nor take up their shmot (names [of idols]) on my lips.
5 Hashem is the chelek (allotted share) of mine inheritance and of my kos (cup [of blessing]); Thou maintainest my goral (lot, allotment by the divine will).
6 The boundary lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly nachalah (inheritance).
