1 Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
1A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
2Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou <FI>art<Fi> ;' My good <FI>is<Fi> not for thine own sake;
3As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
3For the holy ones who <FI>are<Fi> in the land, And the honourable, all my delight <FI>is<Fi> in them.
4Their 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.
4Multiplied are their griefs, <FI>Who<Fi> have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
5Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou--Thou dost uphold my lot.
6Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
6Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance <FI>is<Fi> for me.
7I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
7I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also <FI>in<Fi> the nights my reins instruct me.
8I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
8I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because--at my right hand I am not moved.
9Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
9Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
