Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
2 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3 As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
4 Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
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.
5 O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
8 I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
10 For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
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.
