1Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord.
3As for the saints who are in the earth,
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god.
5Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.
7I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel.
8I have set Yahweh always before me.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.
10For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,16:10 Sheol is the place of the dead.
11You will show me the path of life.
