1 Writing of David Watch me, O God: in thee I put my trust 2 Thou saidst to Jehovah, Thou my Lord: my good not upon thee. 3 To the holy ones that are upon the earth, they and the mighty ones, all my delight is in them. 4 Their labors shall be multiplied after they hastened: I will not gather their libations of blood, and I will not lift up their names upon my lips.
5 Jehovah the portion of my part and of my cup: thou didst hold up my lot. 6 The cords fell to me in sweetnesses; also the inheritance was bountiful upon me.
7 I will praise Jehovah who counseled me: also the night my reins instructed me. 8 I set Jehovah before me always: for from my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 For this my heart rejoiced, and my glory shall exult: also my flesh shall dwell with confidence. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to hades; thou wilt not give thy merciful ones to see corruption. 11 Thou wilt cause me to know the way of life: abundance of joys with thy face; favors in thy right hand forever.
