PSALM 16
Michtam of David.
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 hastena 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.
8I 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 restb 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.
