| 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! |
