En cuanto a los santos que están en la tierra,
    son los nobles en quienes está toda mi delicia.
Aumentarán los dolores
    de los que corren tras otros dioses.
¡Jamás derramaré sus ofrendas de sangre
    ni con mis labios pronunciaré sus nombres!

Tú, Señor, eres mi herencia y mi copa;
    eres tú quien ha afirmado mi porción.

I say of the holy people(A) who are in the land,(B)
    “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
Those who run after other gods(C) will suffer(D) more and more.
    I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
    or take up their names(E) on my lips.

Lord, you alone are my portion(F) and my cup;(G)
    you make my lot(H) secure.

As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in (A)whom is all my delight.”

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of (B)blood I will not offer,
(C)Nor take up their names on my lips.

O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You [a]maintain my lot.
