1God, protect me
2I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord;
3Your people who live in this land are wonderful;
4Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad.
5Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen,
6Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live;
7I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me;
8I know that Yahweh is always with me.
9Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice;
10because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are;
11You will show me the road that leads to receiving eternal life,
