| 2 I say to the Lord, «You are my Lord;
|
| I have no good apart from you.»
|
| 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
|
| in whom is all my delight.
|
| 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
|
| Their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
|
| or take their names on my lips.
|
| 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
|
| you hold my lot.
|
| 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
|
| indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
|
| Beautiful inheritance.
|
| 7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
|
| in the night also my heart instructs me.
|
| 8 I have set the Lord always before me;
|
| because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
|
| 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
|
| my flesh also dwells secure.
|
| 10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
|
| or let your holy one see corruption.
|
| 11 You make known to me the path of life;
|
| in your presence there is fullness of joy;
|
| at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
