1 Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 To the Lord I declare: “You are my Lord; I have no good besides you.”
3 As for the faithful who are on earth, they are the outstanding ones in whom all my delight is.
4 Great will be the suffering of those who run after other gods. I will not partake of their blood sacrifices, and my lips will not even mention their names.
5 Lord, you are my portion and my cup; you are the one who guarantees my future.
6 Ensigns have fallen for me in pleasant places: I have a beautiful inheritance!
7 I will bless the Lord, who advises me; in the dark night my heart teaches me!
8 I always have the Lord before me. With him on my right, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart rejoices and inwardly I exult; even my body will rest peacefully,
10 for you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you allow your holy one to decay.
11 You will make known to me the path of life, the full joy of your presence, eternal pleasure at your right hand.
