Psalms 16
1 A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
“A Michtham of David.” Preserve me, O God; for I have placed my trust in thee.
2 You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
[O my soul], thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my happiness is not without thee;
3 To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
[But] in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent—in them 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.
Multiplied shall be the sorrows of those who give presents to another god: I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor bear their names upon my lips.
5 Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
Thou, O Lord, art the portion of my inheritance, and my cup; thou hast drawn my lot.
6 Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
My possessions are fallen in agreeable places: yea, my heritage is pleasant to me.
7 I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: also in the night seasons my reins admonish me.
8 I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
9 Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
Therefore is rejoiced my heart, and my spirit is glad: also my flesh shall rest in safety.
10 For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the grave: thou wilt not suffer thy pious [servant] to see corruption. (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.
Thou wilt let me know the path of life: fulness of joy is in thy presence; pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
