16:1  A miktam of David. Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
16:2  I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”
16:3  As for the saints who are in the land, they are the noble ones, and in them there is all my delight.
16:4  Those who chase after other gods only multiply their sorrows. Never will I pour out libations of blood to them, nor will I take up their names on my lips.
16:5  O Lord, you are my allotted portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
16:6  The boundary lines have established a pleasant site for me; I have truly received a wonderful inheritance.
16:7  I bless the Lord who offers me counsel; even during the night my heart instructs me.
16:8  I keep the Lord always before me, for with him at my right hand I will never fall.
16:9  Therefore, my heart is glad and my soul rejoices; my body too is filled with confidence.
16:10  For you will not abandon me to the netherworld or allow your Holy One to suffer corruption.
16:11  You will show me the path to life; you will fill me with joy in your presence and everlasting delights at your right hand.
