1 Keep me safe, God, for I take refuge in you. 2 I told the LORD, "You are my master, I have nothing good apart from you." 3 As for the saints that are in the land, they are noble, and all my delight is in them. 4 Those who hurry after another god will have many sorrows; I will not present their drink offerings of blood, nor will my lips speak their names.
5 The LORD is my inheritance and my cup; you support my lot. 6 The boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places for me; truly, I have a beautiful heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; indeed, my conscience instructs me during the night. 8 I have set the LORD before me continuously; because he stands at my right hand, I will stand firm.
9 Therefore, my heart is glad, my whole being rejoices, and my body will dwell securely. 10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, you will not allow your holy one to experience corruption. 11 You cause me to know the path of life; in your presence is joyful abundance, at your right hand there are pleasures forever. A Davidic Prayer.
