The “FarAboveAll” Translation of the Old Testament (English Only)

¹A Golden Psalm of David.

Keep guard over me, O God,

For I have put my trust in you.

²I have said to the Lord,

“You are the Lord^*,

My source of goodness.

There is nothing above you.”

³As for the holy people who are in the land

And the noble ones,

All my delight is in them.

⁴May the sorrows of those who hasten after another be multiplied.

I will not pour out their libations of blood,

And I will not take their names to my lips.

⁵The Lord is the portion of my allotment

And my cup.

You will appoint my lot.

⁶The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;

Indeed, the inheritance has been delightful for me.

⁷I will bless the Lord

Who instructs me.

Moreover, by night

My kidneys discipline me.

⁸I have continually placed the Lord before me,

For with him at my right hand,

I will not falter.

⁹That is why my heart is glad

And my mind rejoices;

My flesh also dwells in security.

¹⁰For you will not leave my being in the grave,

Nor will you allow your holy one to see decay.

¹¹You have made the way of life known to me.

There is an abundance of joys in your presence,

And there are pleasant things in perpetuity at your right hand.
