| Psa. 16:1 |
Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. |
| Psa. 16:2 |
I say to Jehovah, You are my Lord; / No good have I beyond You; |
| Psa. 16:3 |
As for the saints who are on the earth, they are the excellent; / All my delight is in them. |
| Psa. 16:4 |
The sorrows of them who bartered for some other [god] will be multiplied; / Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, / Nor will I take up their names upon my lips. |
| Psa. 16:5 |
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; / You maintain my lot. |
| Psa. 16:6 |
The measuring lines have fallen on pleasant places for me; / Indeed the inheritance is beautiful to me. |
| Psa. 16:7 |
I will bless Jehovah, who counsels me; / Indeed in the nights my inward parts instruct me. |
| Psa. 16:8 |
I have set Jehovah before me continually; / Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. |
| Psa. 16:9 |
Therefore my heart rejoices and my glory exults; / Even my flesh dwells securely. |
| Psa. 16:10 |
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, / Nor let Your Holy One see the pit. |
| Psa. 16:11 |
You will make known to me the path of life; / In Your presence is fullness of joy; / At Your right hand there are pleasures forever. |
