1 - ?A miktam
Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 - I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
3 - I say of the holy people who are in the land, "They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight."
4 - Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
5 - Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 - The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 - I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8 - I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 - Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
10 - because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful
11 - You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
