¹ They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.

² Have all the workers of wickedness and injustice no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the LORD?

³ There they tremble with great fear, For God is with the [consistently] righteous generation.

⁴ You [evildoers] shamefully plan against the poor, But the LORD is his safe refuge.

⁵ Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, Then Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

⁶ A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent? Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill?

⁷ He who walks with integrity and strength of character, and works righteousness, And speaks and holds truth in his heart.

⁸ He does not slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

⁹ In his eyes an evil person is despised, But he honors those who fear the LORD [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder]. He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];

¹⁰ He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite], And does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

¹¹ A[1] Mikhtam of David [probably intended to record memorable thoughts]. Keep and protect me, O God, for in You I have placed my trust and found refuge.

¹² I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You."

¹³ As for the saints (godly people) who are in the land, They are the majestic and the noble and the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

¹⁴ The sorrows [pain and suffering] of those who have chosen another god will be multiplied [because of their idolatry]; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

¹⁵ The LORD is the portion of my inheritance, my cup [He is all I need]; You support my lot.

¹⁶ The [boundary] lines [of the land] have fallen for me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

¹⁷ I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my heart (mind) instructs me in the night.

¹⁸ I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

¹⁹ Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices; My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,

²⁰ For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

²¹ You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

²² A Prayer of David. Hear the just (righteous) cause, O LORD; listen to my loud [piercing] cry; Listen to my prayer, that comes from guileless lips.
