Psalms 16
1 A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
[O my soul], thou hast said to the LORD, Thou [art] my LORD: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
3 To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
[But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, 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 shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips.
5 Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
The LORD [is] the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant [places]; yes, I have a goodly heritage.
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: my reins also instruct me in the night season.
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 shall not be moved.
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 glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall 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 thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One 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 show me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fullness of joy; at thy right hand [are] pleasures for evermore.
