1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
1Taaveti mõistulaul. Kaitse mind, Jumal, sest ma otsin pelgupaika sinu juures!
2O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
2Ma ütlesin Issandale: 'Sina oled mu Issand, ei mul ole head ilma sinuta.'
3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
3Ja pühade kohta maa peal ma ütlesin: 'Nemad on need aulised, kellest mul on väga hea meel.'
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
4Palju piina saab neile, kes ruttavad teise jumala järele; ma ei taha valada nende vereohvreid ega võtta nende nimesid oma huultele.
5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
5Issand on mu põllu- ja mu karikaosa; sina hoiad alles, mis ma liisu teel olen saanud.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
6Mõõdunöörid on mulle langenud meeldivate paikade peale, ka on pärisosa ilus mu meelest.
7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
7Ma tänan Issandat, kes mulle on nõu andnud; isegi öösiti manitsevad mind mu neerud.
8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
8Ma pean Issandat alati oma silma ees, ma ei kõigu, sest tema on mu paremal pool.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
9Sellepärast rõõmutseb mu süda ja mu hing ilutseb; ka mu ihu võib julgesti elada.
10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
10Sest sina ei jäta mu hinge surmavalla kätte ega lase oma vagal näha kõdunemist.
11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
11Sina annad mulle teada elu teeraja; rõõmu on rohkesti su palge ees, meeldivaid asju on su paremas käes alatiseks.
