A Messianic Psalm of David—He rejoices in the saints that are in the earth; in his own future redemption from hell; in the fact that God will not suffer his Holy One (Christ) to see corruption; and that fulness of joy is found in the Lord’s presence.

 PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put my ^atrust.

 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: ^amy^• goodness extendeth not to thee;

 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another ^agod^•: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

 The LORD is the ^aportion^• of mine ^binheritance^• and of my cup: thou ^cmaintainest^• my lot.

 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

 I have set the ^aLORD^• always before me: because he is at my ^bright^• hand, I shall not be moved.

 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my ^aflesh also shall rest in hope.

 For thou wilt not ^aleave^• my ^bsoul^• in ^chell; neither wilt thou suffer thine ^dHoly One to see corruption.

 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy ^apresence is ^bfulness of ^cjoy; at thy right hand there are ^dpleasures^• for evermore.
