A APossibly Epigrammatic Poem or Atonement PsalmMikhtam of David.
1 APs 17:8Preserve me, O God, for BPs 7:1I take refuge in You.
2 1Or O my soul, you saidI said to the Loʀᴅ, “You are 2Or the Lordmy Lord;
I APs 73:25have no good besides You.”
3 As for the 1Lit holy ones; i.e. the godlyAPs 101:6saints who are in the earth,
2Lit And the majestic ones...delightThey are the majestic ones BPs 119:63in whom is all my delight.
4 The 1I.e. sorrows due to idolatryAPs 32:10sorrows of those who have 2Or hastened tobartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of BPs 106:37, 38blood,
Nor will I CEx 23:13; Josh 23:7take their names upon my lips.
 
5 The Loʀᴅ is the APs 73:26; 119:57; 142:5; Lam 3:24portion of my inheritance and my BPs 23:5cup;
You support my CPs 125:3 mglot.
6 The APs 78:55lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is BJer 3:19beautiful to me.
 
7 I will bless the Loʀᴅ who has APs 73:24counseled me;
Indeed, my 1Lit kidneys, figurative for inner manBPs 77:6mind instructs me in the night.
8 APs 16:8-11; Acts 2:25-28I have BPs 27:8; 123:1, 2set the Loʀᴅ continually before me;
Because He is CPs 73:23; 110:5; 121:5at my right hand, DPs 112:6I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore APs 4:7; 13:5my heart is glad and BPs 30:12; 57:8; 108:1my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will CPs 4:8dwell securely.
10 For You APs 49:15; 86:13will not abandon my soul to 1I.e. the nether worldSheol;
Nor will You 2Lit giveBActs 13:35allow Your 3Or godly oneHoly One to 4Or see corruption or the pitundergo decay.
11 You will make known to me APs 139:24; Matt 7:14the path of life;
In BPs 21:6; 43:4Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are CJob 36:11; Ps 36:7, 8; 46:4pleasures forever.
