1 ܢܛܪܝܢܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠܝܟ ܐܬܬܟܠܬ	1 [In a quiet voice Of David] Protect me, O God, in you is my refuge.
2 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܪܝ ܐܢܬ ܘܛܒܬܝ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܟ ܗܝ	2 To Yahweh I say, 'You are my Lord, my happiness is in none
3 ܐܦ ܠܩܕܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܡܫܒ̈ܚܐ ܕܟܠܗ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܒܗܘܢ	3 of the sacred spirits of the earth.' They only take advantage of al who love them.
4 ܢܣܓܘܢ ܟܐ̈ܒܝܗܘܢ ܐܚܪ̈ܝܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܩܐ ܢܘܩܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܕܟܪ ܫ̈ܡܗܝܗܘܢ ܒܣ̈ܦܘܬܝ	4 People flock to their teeming idols. Never shal I pour libations to them! Never take their names on mylips.
5 ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢܬܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܝ ܘܕܟܣܝ ܐܢܬ ܡܦܢܐ ܠܝ ܝܪܬܘܬܝ	5 My birthright, my cup is Yahweh; you, you alone, hold my lot secure.
6 ܚܒ̈ܠܐ ܢܦܠܘ ܠܝ ܒܛܪ̈ܩܐ. ܐܦ ܝܪܬܘܬܝ ܫܦܪܬ ܠܝ	6 The measuring-line marks out for me a delightful place, my birthright is al I could wish.
7 ܐܒܪܟ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܠܟܢܝ ܐܦ ܒ̈ܠܝܠܘܬܐ ܪ̈ܕܝܢܝ ܟܘ̈ܠܝܬܝ	7 I bless Yahweh who is my counsel or, even at night my heart instructs me.
8 ܣܡܬ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܒܟܠ ܙܒܢ ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܙܘܥ	8 I keep Yahweh before me always, for with him at my right hand, nothing can shake me.
9 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܕܝ ܠܒܝ ܘܕܨ ܐܝܩܪܝ ܐܦ ܒܣܪܝ ܢܫܪܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ	9 So my heart rejoices, my soul delights, my body too wil rest secure,
10 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܒܩܬ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܒܫܝܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܚܣܝܟ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܚܒܠܐ	10 for you wil not abandon me to Sheol, you cannot al ow your faithful servant to see the abyss.
11 ܬܚܘܝܢܝ ܐܘܪܚܟ ܕܚ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܣܒܥ ܡܢ ܚܕܘܬܗ ܕܦܪܨܘܦܟ. ܘܡܢ ܒܣܝܡܘܬܐ ܕܙܟܘܬܐ ܕܝܡܝܢܟ	11 You wil teach me the path of life, unbounded joy in your presence, at your right hand delight for ever.
