A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge. (LXX 15:1; Rahlfs 15:1)
מִכְתָּ֥ם לְדָוִ֑ד שָֽׁמְרֵ֥נִי אֵ֝֗ל כִּֽי־חָסִ֥יתִי בָֽךְ׃
2I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.” (LXX 15:2; Rahlfs 15:2)
אָמַ֣רְתְּ לַֽ֭יהוָה אֲדֹנָ֣י אָ֑תָּה ט֝וֹבָתִ֗י בַּל־עָלֶֽיךָ׃
3As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides. (LXX 15:3; Rahlfs 15:3)
לִ֭קְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָ֣רֶץ הֵ֑מָּה וְ֝אַדִּירֵ֗י כָּל־חֶפְצִי־בָֽם׃
4Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips. (LXX 15:4; Rahlfs 15:4)
יִרְבּ֥וּ עַצְּבוֹתָם֮ אַחֵ֪ר מָ֫הָ֥רוּ בַּל־אַסִּ֣יךְ נִסְכֵּיהֶ֣ם מִדָּ֑ם וּֽבַל־אֶשָּׂ֥א אֶת־שְׁ֝מוֹתָ֗ם עַל־שְׂפָתָֽי׃
5The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure. (LXX 15:5; Rahlfs 15:5)
יְֽהוָ֗ה מְנָת־חֶלְקִ֥י וְכוֹסִ֑י אַ֝תָּ֗ה תּוֹמִ֥יךְ גּוֹרָלִֽי׃
6The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful. (LXX 15:6; Rahlfs 15:6)
חֲבָלִ֣ים נָֽפְלוּ־לִ֭י בַּנְּעִמִ֑ים אַף־נַ֝חֲלָ֗ת שָֽׁפְרָ֥ה עָלָֽי׃
7I will bless the Lord who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me. (LXX 15:7; Rahlfs 15:7)
אֲבָרֵ֗ךְ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה אֲשֶׁ֣ר יְעָצָ֑נִי אַף־לֵ֝יל֗וֹת יִסְּר֥וּנִי כִלְיוֹתָֽי׃
8I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. (LXX 15:8; Rahlfs 15:8)
שִׁוִּ֬יתִי יְהוָ֣ה לְנֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִ֑יד כִּ֥י מִֽ֝ימִינִ֗י בַּל־אֶמּֽוֹט׃
9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely. (LXX 15:9; Rahlfs 15:9)
לָכֵ֤ן ׀ שָׂמַ֣ח לִ֭בִּי וַיָּ֣גֶל כְּבוֹדִ֑י אַף־בְּ֝שָׂרִ֗י יִשְׁכֹּ֥ן לָבֶֽטַח׃
10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (LXX 15:10; Rahlfs 15:10)
כִּ֤י ׀ לֹא־תַעֲזֹ֣ב נַפְשִׁ֣י לִשְׁא֑וֹל לֹֽא־תִתֵּ֥ן חֲ֝סִידְךָ֗ לִרְא֥וֹת שָֽׁחַת׃
11You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. (LXX 15:11; Rahlfs 15:11)
תּֽוֹדִיעֵנִי֮ אֹ֤רַח חַ֫יִּ֥ים שֹׂ֣בַע שְׂ֭מָחוֹת אֶת־פָּנֶ֑יךָ נְעִמ֖וֹת בִּימִינְךָ֣ נֶֽצַח׃
