Psalm 16

16:1

A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

16:2

I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”

16:3

As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

16:4

Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

16:5

The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

16:6

The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.

16:7

I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.

16:8

I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

16:9

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.

16:10

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

16:11

You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
