1. A miktam of David. Protect me, God, because I depend on you.
|
1. Michtam H4387 of David H1732 . Preserve H8104 me , O God H410 : for H3588 in thee do I put my trust H2620 .
|
|
2. I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord. Every good thing I have comes from you."
|
2. O my soul , thou hast said H559 unto the LORD H3068 , Thou H859 art my Lord H136 : my goodness H2896 extendeth not H1077 to H5921 thee;
|
|
3. But you also said, "The gods of this land are my powerful gods. They are the only ones who make me happy."
|
3. But to the saints H6918 that H834 are in the earth H776 , and to the excellent H117 , in whom is all H3605 my delight H2656 .
|
|
4. But those who worship other gods will have many troubles. I will not share in the gifts of blood they offer to their idols. I will not even say their names.
|
4. Their sorrows H6094 shall be multiplied H7235 that hasten H4116 after another H312 god : their drink offerings H5262 of blood H4480 H1818 will I not H1077 offer H5258 , nor H1077 take up H5375 H853 their names H8034 into H5921 my lips H8193 .
|
|
5. Lord, you give me all that I need. You support me. You give me my share.
|
5. The LORD H3068 is the portion H4521 of mine inheritance H2506 and of my cup H3563 : thou H859 maintainest H8551 my lot H1486 .
|
|
6. My share is wonderful. My inheritance is very beautiful.
|
6. The lines H2256 are fallen H5307 unto me in pleasant H5273 places ; yea H637 , I have H5921 a goodly H8231 heritage H5159 .
|
|
7. I praise the Lord because he taught me well. Even at night he put his instructions deep inside my mind.
|
7. I will bless H1288 H853 the LORD H3068 , who H834 hath given me counsel H3289 : my reins H3629 also H637 instruct H3256 me in the night seasons H3915 .
|
|
8. I always remember that the Lord is with me. He is here, close by my side, so nothing can defeat me.
|
8. I have set H7737 the LORD H3068 always H8548 before H5048 me: because H3588 he is at my right hand H4480 H3225 , I shall not H1077 be moved H4131 .
|
|
9. So my heart and soul will be very happy. Even my body will live in safety,
|
9. Therefore H3651 my heart H3820 is glad H8055 , and my glory H3519 rejoiceth H1523 : my flesh H1320 also H637 shall rest H7931 in hope H983 .
|
|
10. because you will not leave me in the place of death. You will not let your faithful one rot in the grave.
|
10. For H3588 thou wilt not H3808 leave H5800 my soul H5315 in hell H7585 ; neither H3808 wilt thou suffer H5414 thine Holy One H2623 to see H7200 corruption H7845 .
|
|
11. You will teach me the right way to live. Just being with you will bring complete happiness. Being at your right side will make me happy forever.
|
11. Thou wilt show H3045 me the path H734 of life H2416 : in H854 thy presence H6440 is fullness H7648 of joy H8057 ; at thy right hand H3225 there are pleasures H5273 forevermore H5331 .
