Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
2 O my soul, thou hast said to the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 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.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou permit thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
