< Psalms 16 >
1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
2 O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to 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 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.
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 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, 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 has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
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: because 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 rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol )
11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more.
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.
