The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory

A ⚓Michtam of David.
  1Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
   2O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
   “You are my Lord,
   ⚓My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
    3As for the saints who are on the earth,
   “They are the excellent ones, in ⚓whom is all my delight.”
   4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
   Their drink offerings of ⚓blood I will not offer,
   ⚓Nor take up their names on my lips.
   5O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
   You maintain my lot.
    6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
   Yes, I have a good inheritance.
   7I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
   My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
    8⚓I have set the Lord always before me;
   Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
   9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
   My flesh also will rest in hope.
    10⚓For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
   Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
    11You will show me the ⚓path of life;
   In Your presence is fullness of joy;
   At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
