Opening the chapter…
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
I said to God, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices to their gods; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
God, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
God has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
I will praise God, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night he you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
I know that God is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will ◄perturb me/cause me to be worried►.
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
because you, God, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there.
You will show me the road that leads to receiving eternal life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am ◄at your right hand/seated next to you►.
