1(16) A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
1A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you have no need of my goodness.
2My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
3On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
3As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
5Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night .
7I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
8I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
10For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
11You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
