Michtam of David.

1 Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

2 O my soul, thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord:

I have no good beyond thee.

3 As for the saints that are in the earth,

They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god:

Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,

Nor take their names upon my lips.

5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:

Thou maintainest my lot.

6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;

Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7 I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel;

Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.

8 I have set Jehovah always before me:

Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:

My flesh also shall dwell in safety.

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol;

Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

11 Thou wilt show me the path of life:

In thy presence is fulness of joy;

In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

大卫的金诗。 1 　神啊！求你保守我，因为我投靠你。*本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题

2 我*"我"有古抄本作"你"曾对耶和华说："你是我的主，

我的好处不在你以外。"

3 至于世上的圣民，

他们都是尊贵荣美的人，全是我所喜爱的。

4 追求别神的，他们的愁苦必定加多。

他们所奠的血祭，我不祭奠；

我的嘴唇也不提别神的名。

5 耶和华是我的产业，是我杯中的分；

我所得的业分，你亲自为我持守。

6 准绳量给我的是佳美之地，

我的产业实在令我喜悦。

7 我要称颂那指导我的耶和华，

我的心在夜间也劝戒我。

8 我常常把耶和华摆在我面前，

因他在我右边，我必不会动摇。

9 为此我的心快乐，我的灵*"灵"或译："荣耀"或"肝"；与30:12，57:8，108:1同欢欣，

我的肉身也必安然居住。

10 因为你必不把我的灵魂撇在阴间，

也必不容你的圣者见朽坏*"朽坏"或译："深渊"。

11 你必把生命的路指示我，

在你面前有满足的喜乐，

在你的右手中有永远的福乐。
