Psalms 16
1 A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 They will increase sorrows their [those who] another [god] they hurried after not I will pour out drink offerings their from blood and not I will take names their on lips my.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10 For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will make known to me [the] path of life abundance of gladness [are] with presence your pleasant [things] [are] at right [hand] your perpetuity.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
