Psalms 16

Jehovah the psalmist’s portion in life and deliverer in death.

Michtam of David.

¹Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.

²My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."

³As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take their names on my lips.

⁵Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

⁶The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

⁷I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

⁸I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

¹⁰For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, Neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

¹¹You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
