1 Keep me safe, my God,

for in you I take refuge.

2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

apart from you I have no good thing.”

3 I say of the holy people who are in the land,

“They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”

4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.

I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods

or take up their names on my lips.

5 Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;

you make my lot secure.

6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

surely I have a delightful inheritance.

1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

I have no good apart from you.”

3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,

in whom is all my delight.

4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;

their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out

or take their names on my lips.

5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;

you hold my lot.

6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

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.

1 Keep me safe, O God,

for I have come to you for refuge.

2 I said to the Lord, “You are my Master!

Every good thing I have comes from you.”

3 The godly people in the land

are 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 blood

or even speak the names of their gods.

5 Lord, 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!

1 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord,

“You are my Lord,

My goodness is nothing apart from You.”

3 As for the saints who are on the earth,

“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;

Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,

Nor take up their names on my lips.

5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;

You maintain my lot.

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;

Yes, I have a good inheritance.

1 Protect me, God,

because I trust in you.

2 I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord.

Every good thing I have comes from you.”

3 As for the godly people in the world,

they are the wonderful ones I enjoy.

4 But those who turn to idols

will have much pain.

I will not offer blood to those idols

or even speak their names.

5 No, the Lord is all I need.

He takes care of me.

6 My share in life has been pleasant;

my part has been beautiful.

1 Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

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

I have no good beyond thee.

3 As for the saints that are in the earth,

They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god:

Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,

Nor take their names upon my lips.

5 Jehovah 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.

1 Preserve me, O •God: for I trust in thee. 2 Thou my soul hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; — 3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent thou hast said, In them is all my delight. 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips. 5 Jehovah 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.

1 Protect me, O God, because I take refuge in you. 

2 I said to the Lord, 

“You are my Lord. Without you, I have nothing good.” 

3 Those who lead holy lives on earth 

are the noble ones who fill me with joy. 

4 Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows. 

I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood 

or use my lips to speak their names. 

5 The Lord is my inheritance and my cup. 

You are the one who determines my destiny. 

6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me. 

Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful. 

1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.

2 I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord;

I have nothing good besides You.”

3 As for the holy people who are in the land,

they are the noble ones.

All my delight is in them.

4 The sorrows of those who take another god

for themselves will multiply;

I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,

and I will not speak their names with my lips.

5 Lord, You are my portion

and my cup of blessing;

You hold my future.

6 The boundary lines have fallen for me

in pleasant places;

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

1 Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

I have no good apart from you.”

3 As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble,

in whom is all my delight.

their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out

or take their names upon my lips.

5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;

you hold my lot.

6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

I have a goodly heritage.

for I take refuge in you.

2 Oh my soul you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord.

I have no good apart from you.”

3 With regard to the saints who are in the land,

they are the noble ones in whom is all my desire.

4 Those who hurry after another god increase their sorrows.

I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,

nor take up their names on my lips.

5 Yahweh is the portion which is my share and my cup.

You hold my lot.

6 The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.

Yes, my inheritance is delightful for me.

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.
