1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];` My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
