Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
4 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.
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.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 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.
Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
