Psalms 16

¹Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.

²I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”

³The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!

⁴Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.

⁵Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.

⁶The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!

⁷I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.

⁸I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

⁹No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.

¹⁰For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.

¹¹You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
