*A Miktam of David.*

## Text

[1] Preserve me, O God,
for in You I take refuge. [2] I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
apart from You I have no good thing.” [3] As for the saints in the land,
they are the excellence
in whom all my delight resides. [4] Sorrows will multiply
to those who chase other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood,
or speak their names with my lips. [5] The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;
You have made my lot secure. [6] The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places;
surely my inheritance is delightful. [7] I will bless the LORD who counsels me;
even at night my conscience instructs me. [8] I have set the LORD always before me.
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. [9] Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will dwell securely. [10] For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. [11] You have made known to me the path of life;
You will fill me with joy in Your presence,
with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
