MICHTAM OF DAVID.

1	Preserve me, O God: 

for in thee do I put my trust.

2	O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: 

my goodness extendeth not to thee;

3	But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4	Their 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.

5	The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: 

thou maintainest my lot.

6	The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; 

yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7	I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: 

my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

8	I have set the LORD always before me: 

because he is at 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 show me the path of life: 

in thy presence is fulness of joy; 

at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
