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 神啊！ 求你保守我， 因为我投靠你。（本节在《马索拉抄本》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。 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。
