The Lord is the (A)portion of my inheritance and my (B)cup;
You support my (C)lot.
The measuring (D)lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my inheritance is (E)beautiful to me.

I will bless the Lord who has (F)advised me;
Indeed, my [a](G)mind instructs me in the night.
(H)I have (I)set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is (J)at my right hand, (K)I will not be shaken.
Therefore (L)my heart is glad and (M)my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will (N)dwell securely.
10 For You (O)will not abandon my soul to [b]Sheol;
You will not [c](P)allow Your [d]Holy One to [e]undergo decay.
11 You will make known to me (Q)the way of life;
In (R)Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are (S)pleasures forever.
