  1. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
  2. O my soul, thou hast said unto theLORD, Thouartmy Lord: my goodnessextendethnot to thee;
  3. Butto the saints thatarein the earth, andtothe excellent, in whomisall my delight.
  4. Their sorrows shall be multipliedthathastenafteranothergod:their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
  5. TheLORDisthe portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
  6. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasantplaces;yea, I have a goodly heritage.
  7. I will bless theLORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
  8. I have set theLORDalways before me: becausehe isat my right hand, I shall not be moved.
  9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
  10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
  11. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presenceisfulness of joy; at thy right handthere arepleasures for evermore.
