Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
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 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.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest 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)
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give 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 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.
