Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] 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 griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [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 placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your 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.
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
