Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
My soul, you have said to Adonai, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones 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 who give gifts to another deity. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
Adonai assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
I will bless Adonai, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs 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 always set Adonai 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 kavod ·weighty glory· rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol ·Place of the dead·, neither will you allow your 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.
You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
