Psalm 16
1 Preserve
me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art
my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to
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 up their names into my
lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of
my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;
yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel:
my reins also instruct 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.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither
wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy
presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there
are pleasures for evermore.
