Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
2 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
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, in whom is all my delight.
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.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into 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: you maintain my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall 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 you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your 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.
You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
