KING JAMES BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.4 Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
8 I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
