1 Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

2 My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord.

3 As for the saints who are on the earth,

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god.

5 The LORD assigned my portion and my cup.

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.

7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel.

8 I have set the LORD always before me.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.

10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,

11 You will show me the path of life.
