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.

  mas yog lawv lob kev txomnyem los rau lawv xwb.
  Kuv yuav tsis nrog lawv koom hlawv
   khoom fij;

   5Tus TSWV, koj yog txhua yam uas
   kuv muaj,
  thiab koj pub txhua yam uas kuv xav tau rau kuv;
  kuv lub neej yav tom ntej nyob hauv
   koj lub xibteg.

   tej ntawd zoo kawg li!

   7Kuv ua tus TSWV tsaug, rau qhov
   nws coj kuv txoj haukev,

   TSWV nrog nraim kuv nyob,
  yeej tsis muaj ib yam dabtsi ua rau kuv ntshai,
   rau qhov nws nyob ze kuv.

  9Yog li ntawd, kuv thiaj zoo siab thiab ua nws tsaug,

   10rau qhov koj tiv thaiv tsis pub kuv
   raug kev ploj kev tuag,
  lossis tsis cia tus uas muaj lub siab
   npuab koj mus rau hauv tubtuag teb.

  11Koj yuav qhia txojkev uas mus tau
   txojsia rau kuv,
  koj nrog nraim kuv ua rau kuv txaus siab
   thiab zoo siab mus ibtxhis.
