(A)The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless the Lord who (B)gives me counsel;
    in (C)the night also my (D)heart instructs me.[a]
(E)I have (F)set the Lord always before me;
    because he is at my (G)right hand, I shall not be (H)shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my (I)whole being[b] rejoices;
    my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to (J)Sheol,
    (K)or let your (L)holy one see (M)corruption.[c]

11 You make known to me (N)the path of life;
    in your presence there is (O)fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are (P)pleasures forevermore.
