¹ God, keep me safe. I go to you for safety. ² I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord. Without you, I don't have anything that is good." ³ God's people who live in our land are glorious. I take great delight in them. ⁴ Those who run after other gods will have nothing but trouble. I will not pour out offerings of blood to those gods. My lips will not speak their names. ⁵ Lord, everything you have given me is good. You have made my life secure. ⁶ I am very pleased with what you have given me. I am very happy with what I've received from you. ⁷ I will praise the Lord. He gives me good advice. Even at night my heart teaches me. ⁸ I know that the Lord is always with me. He is at my right hand. I will always be secure. ⁹ So my heart is glad. Joy is on my tongue. My body also will be secure. ¹⁰ You will not leave me in the grave. You will not let your faithful one rot away. ¹¹ You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you. You will give me endless pleasures at your right hand.
