King James Version with Apocrypha
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
1Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
2O my soul , thou hast said unto the LORD , Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
2I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
3As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
4Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
5O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I will bless the LORD , who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
8I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
10For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.
11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
11Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
