Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
2 I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
3 To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
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.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
