Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. 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 the LORD, 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 The LORD [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 the LORD, 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 the LORD 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.
