Psalm

 2 I have said* to Jehovah: “You are Jehovah;* my goodness is, not for your sake,+

 3 [But] to the holy ones that are in the earth.

They, even the majestic ones, are the ones in whom is all my delight.”+

 4 Pains become many to those [who], when there is someone else, do hurry [after him].+

I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood,+

And I shall not carry their names upon my lips.+

 5 Jehovah is the portion of my allotted share+ and of my cup.*+

You are holding fast my lot.

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

Really, [my own] possession* has proved agreeable to me.

 7 I shall bless Jehovah, who has given me advice.+

Really, during the nights my kidneys* have corrected me.+

 8 I have placed Jehovah in front of me constantly.+

Because [he] is at my right hand, I shall not be made to totter.+

 9 Therefore my heart does rejoice, and my glory* is inclined to be joyful.+

Also, my own flesh will reside in security.+

10 For you will not leave my soul* in Sheʹol.*+

You will not allow your loyal one to see the pit.*+

11 You will cause me to know the path of life.+

Rejoicing to satisfaction is with your face;+

There is pleasantness at your right hand forever.+
