¹ ⓐ Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You. ⓑ

² I [1] said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides You.” [2] ⓒ

³ As for the holy people who are in the land, ⓓ they are the noble ones. All my delight is in them.

⁴ The sorrows of those who take another god for themselves will multiply; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, and I will not speak their names with my lips. ⓔ

⁵ LORD, You are my portion [3] and my cup of blessing; You hold my future. ⓕ

⁶ The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. ⓖ

⁷ I will praise the LORD who counsels me ⓗ — even at night my conscience instructs me. ⓘ

⁸ I keep the LORD in mind [4] always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. ⓙ

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad and my spirit rejoices; my body also rests securely. ⓚ

¹⁰ For You will not abandon me to Sheol; ⓛ You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay. ⓜ

¹¹ You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; ⓝ in Your right hand are eternal pleasures. ⓞ
