Psalms
16
- Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
- I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing."
- As for the saints who are in the land, they
are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
- The sorrows of those will increase who run
after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up
their names on my lips.
- LORD, you have assigned me my portion and
my cup; you have made my lot secure.
- The boundary lines have fallen for me in
pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
- I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
- I have set the LORD always before me. Because
he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
- Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue
rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
- because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
- 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.
