Psalms chapter XVI
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God; for in you I put my trust.
2 I have said to the Lord, You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you;
3 As for the holy ones who are in the earth, they are the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 And for those who choose another god, their sorrows shall be multiplied; their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names upon my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; you maintain my lot.
6 The lines are fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has given me counsel; my insides 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 rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
10 (K) For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol; nor will you suffer your pious one to see the pit.
11 You will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
