1. |
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee. |
2. |
Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou `art';' My good `is' not for thine own sake; |
3. |
For the holy ones who `are' in the land, And the honourable, all my delight `is' in them. |
4. |
Multiplied are their griefs, `Who' have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips. |
5. |
Jehovah `is' the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot. |
6. |
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance `is' for me. |
7. |
I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also `in' the nights my reins instruct me. |
8. |
I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved. |
9. |
Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently: |
10. |
For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. |
11. |
Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys `is' with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever! |
