Michtam of David
. Preserve
me, O God
: for in thee do I put my trust
.
O my soul , thou hast said unto the LORD
, Thou art my Lord
: my goodness
extendeth not to thee;
But to the saints that
are in the earth
, and to the excellent
, in whom is all my delight
.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that hasten
after another
god : their drink offerings
of blood
will I not offer
, nor
take up
their names
into my lips
.
The LORD is the portion
of mine inheritance
and of my cup
: thou maintainest
my lot
.
The lines are fallen
unto me in pleasant
places ; yea, I have a goodly
heritage
.
I will bless the LORD
, who hath given me counsel
: my reins
also instruct
me in the night seasons
.
I have set the LORD
always
before me: because he is at my right hand
, I shall not be moved
.
Therefore my heart is glad
, and my glory
rejoiceth
: my flesh
also shall rest
in hope
.
For thou wilt not leave my soul
in hell
; neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One
to see
corruption
.
Thou wilt shew me the path
of life
: in thy presence
is fulness
of joy
; at thy right hand
there are pleasures
for evermore
.
