Psalms 16
1 A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
2 You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
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 who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
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.
Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
5 Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
6 Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
7 I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
8 I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
9 Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
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 let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (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 will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
