Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
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 honourable, 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.
Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations 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.
Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost 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, Yea, a beauteous 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 Jehovah who hath counselled 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 did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — 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 hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth 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 Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly 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 causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
