1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
I have said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
As for the saints that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that exchange [the LORD] for another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.

7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: yea, my reins instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall dwell in safety.
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
