I said to the Lord, You are my Lord, because you have no need of my goods.
To the holy ones who are in his land, he made all his will wonderful in them.
αἱ ἀσθένειαι αὐτῶν μετὰ ταῦτα ἐτάχυναν οὐ μὴ συναγάγω τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν ἐξ αἱμάτων οὐδὲ μὴ μνησθῶ τῶν ὀνομάτων αὐτῶν διὰ χειλέων μου
Their weaknesses were multiplied; after these things they hastened. I will by no means gather their gatherings from blood, nor will I by no means remember their names through my lips.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; you are the one who restores my inheritance to me.
The measuring cords have fallen for me in the best places, for indeed my inheritance is best to me.
I will bless the Lord who instructed me; moreover even until night my kidneys disciplined me.
I foresaw the Lord before me continually, because he is at my right hand, so that I should not be shaken.
τοῦτο ηὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπ᾿ ἐλπίδι
Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced; moreover also my flesh will dwell in hope
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will you give your holy one to see corruption.
You have made known to me paths of life; you will fill me with gladness with your face; delights are at your right hand forever.
