Michtam of David.
PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their 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.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct 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.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

1 A miktam of David. Keep me safe, O God; in you I take refuge.

2 I say to the LORD, you are my Lord, you are my only good.

3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are noble, in whom is all my delight.

4 They multiply their sorrows who court other gods. Blood libations to them I will not pour out, nor will I take their names upon my lips.

5 LORD, my allotted portion and my cup, you have made my destiny secure.

6 Pleasant places were measured out for me; fair to me indeed is my inheritance.

7 I bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my heart exhorts me.

8I keep the LORD always before me; with him at my right hand, I shall never be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure,

10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor let your devout one see the pit.

11 You will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever.

v 1-8. Verse 1 is a key verse and summarizes that the Lord had kept David safe, so he had come to know and trust in the Lord.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 9-11. David was confident God would preserve his life and not allow him to decay in the grave yet and God would even show him the path of life and fellowship with the Lord. (we can claim v 11) More important, this part of the Psalm is a prediction of the resurrection of Christ. We have promise of resurrection also.
