< Psalms 16 >

1 A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
2 I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
They will increase sorrows their [those who] another [god] they hurried after not I will pour out drink offerings their from blood and not I will take names their on lips my.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
10 because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
You will make known to me [the] path of life abundance of gladness [are] with presence your pleasant [things] [are] at right [hand] your perpetuity.
