Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on 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 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not 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 has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
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.
