You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

I have set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Keep and protect me, O God, for in You I have placed my trust and found refuge.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, my cup [He is all I need];
You support my lot.

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices;
My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,

I will bless the Lord who has counseled me;
Indeed, my heart (mind) instructs me in the night.

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.”

The sorrows [pain and suffering] of those who have chosen another god will be multiplied [because of their idolatry];
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

The [boundary] lines [of the land] have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

As for the saints (godly people) who are in the land,
They are the majestic and the noble and the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
