A psalm of David.
1Keep me safe, O God,for I have come to you for refuge.
2I said to the LORD, “You are my Master!Every good thing I have comes from you.”
3 The godly people in the landare my true heroes!I take pleasure in them!
4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.I will not take part in their sacrifices of bloodor even speak the names of their gods.
5LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.You guard all that is mine.
6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land.What a wonderful inheritance!
7I will bless the LORD who guides me;even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I know the LORD is always with me.I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
9No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. Greek version reads and my tongue shouts his praises. Compare Acts 2:26.My body rests in safety.
10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead Hebrew in Sheol.or allow your holy one Or your Holy One. to rot in the grave.
11 You will show me the way of life,granting me the joy of your presenceand the pleasures of living with you forever. Greek version reads You have shown me the way of life, / and you will fill me with the joy of your presence. Compare Acts 2:28.
