Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
As for the sanctified who 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.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places; ] yea, I have a goodly heritage.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I beheld Jehovah 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 shall rest in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (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 made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
