Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
The holy that are in the land, and the excellent, —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.
They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.
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 careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.
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 before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.
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 give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit. (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 show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
