1 K eep me, O God, for I am safe in You.

2 I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord. All the good things I have come from You.”

3 A s for those in the land who belong to You, they are the great ones in whom is all my joy.

4 T hose who have traded for another god bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their altar gifts of blood. And I will not take their names upon my lips.

5 T he Lord is all that I am to receive, and my cup. My future is in Your hands.

6 T he land given to me is good. Yes, my share is beautiful to me.

7 I will give honor and thanks to the Lord, Who has told me what to do. Yes, even at night my mind teaches me.

8 I have placed the Lord always in front of me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

9 A nd so my heart is glad. My soul is full of joy. My body also will rest without fear.

10 F or You will not give me over to the grave. And You will not allow Your Holy One to return to dust.

11 Y ou will show me the way of life. Being with You is to be full of joy. In Your right hand there is happiness forever.
