3As for the saints in the land,
they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.
4Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows;
their libations of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips.
5Yahweh is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I bless Yahweh who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8I keep Yahweh always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;
my body also dwells secure.
10For you not give me up to Sheol,
or let your godly one see the Pit.
11You show me the path of life;
in your presence there is fulness of joy,
in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.
