³ As for ^(D)the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
    in whom is all my delight.^[b]

⁴ The sorrows of those who run after^[c] another god shall multiply;
    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
    or ^(E)take their names on my lips.

⁵ The Lord is ^(F)my chosen portion and my ^(G)cup;
    you hold my ^(H)lot.
^6 (I)The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷ I bless the Lord who ^(J)gives me counsel;
    in ^(K)the night also my ^(L)heart instructs me.^[d]
8 (M)I have ^(N)set the Lord always before me;
    because he is at my ^(O)right hand, I shall not be ^(P)shaken.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my ^(Q)whole being^[e] rejoices;
    my flesh also dwells secure.
¹⁰ For you will not abandon my soul to ^(R)Sheol,
    ^(S)or let your ^(T)holy one see ^(U)corruption.^[f]

¹¹ You make known to me ^(V)the path of life;
    in your presence there is ^(W)fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are ^(X)pleasures forevermore.
