Psalms 16 : 1 - 11
Chapter 16
1 | Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
|
2 | O my soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You."
|
3 | As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
|
4 | Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.
|
5 | O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
|
6 | The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.
|
7 | I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs 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 will rest in hope.
|
10 | For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
|
11 | You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
