Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them 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 that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into 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 mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.

8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
