I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 16 of Psalms. Psalm 16 is a confession of trust in which God appears as supreme good, inheritance, and protection. The rejection of other gods is not merely a doctrinal affirmation, but a declaration of exclusive dependence upon the Lord. The image of portion and inheritance makes communion with God the psalmist’s true possession. The conclusion celebrates the security that God shows the path of life and allows one to experience fullness in his presence.

Ich habe den HERRN allezeit vor Augen; denn er ist mir zur Rechten, so werde ich fest bleiben.
A Jehová he puesto siempre delante de mí: Porque está a mi diestra no seré conmovido.
He puesto a Jehová siempre delante de mí; porque está a mi derecha, no seré sacudido.
J'ai constamment l'Eternel sous mes yeux; Quand il est à ma droite, je ne chancelle pas.
Io ho sempre posto il Signore davanti agli occhi miei; Perciocchè egli è alla mia destra, io non sarò giammai smosso.
Tenho posto o SENHOR continuamente diante de mim; por isso que ele está à minha mão direita, nunca vacilarei.
我讓耶和華常在我面前, 因他在我右邊,我就不致動搖。
