| 1 | Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee. |
| 2 | I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee'; |
| 3 | As for the holy that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight. |
| 4 | Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips. |
| 5 | O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot. |
| 6 | The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
| 7 | I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; Yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me. |
| 8 | I have set the LORD always before me; Surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
| 9 | Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety; |
| 10 | For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; Neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. |
| 11 | Thou makest me to know the path of life; In Thy presence is fulness of joy, In Thy right hand bliss for evermore. |
