Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto Yhwh, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
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.
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.
5 Yhwh is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest 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 Yhwh, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
8 I have set Yhwh always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
