1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.

1 'n Gedig van Dawid. Bewaar my, o God, want by U skuil ek.2 Ek het tot die HERE gesê: U is my Here; vir my is daar geen goed bo U nie.3 Maar aangaande die heiliges wat op die aarde is, sê ek: Hulle is die heerlikes in wie al my behae is.4 Die smarte van hulle wat 'n ander god met gawes vereer, sal menigvuldig wees; ek sal hulle drankoffers van bloed nie uitgiet en hulle name op my lippe nie neem nie.5 Die HERE is die deel van my erfenis en van my beker; U onderhou my lot.6 Die meetsnoere het vir my in lieflike plekke geval, ja, my erfenis is vir my mooi.7 Ek sal die HERE loof wat my raad gegee het; selfs in die nag vermaan my niere my.8 Ek stel die HERE altyddeur voor my; omdat Hy aan my regterhand is, sal ek nie wankel nie.9 Daarom is my hart bly en my eer juig; ook sal my vlees in veiligheid woon;10 want U sal my siel aan die doderyk nie oorgee nie; U sal nie toelaat dat u gunsgenoot verderwing sien nie.11 U sal my die pad van die lewe bekend maak; versadiging van vreugde is voor u aangesig, lieflikhede in u regterhand, vir ewig.
