Psalms 16
1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
