Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
O my soul, thou hast said unto Yhwh, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
Yhwh is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
I will bless Yhwh, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I have set Yhwh always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
