16:1 Keep and protect me, O God, for in You I have found refuge, and in You do I put my trust and hide myself.
16:2 I say to the Lord, You are my Lord; I have no good beside or beyond You.
16:3 As for the godly (the saints) who are in the land, they are the excellent, the noble, and the glorious, in whom is all my delight.
16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who choose another god; their drink offerings of blood will I not offer or take their names upon my lips.
16:5 The Lord is my chosen and assigned portion, my cup; You hold and maintain my lot.
16:6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good heritage.
16:7 I will bless the Lord, Who has given me counsel; yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
16:8 I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my inner self] rejoices; my body too shall rest and confidently dwell in safety,
16:10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the place of the dead), neither will You suffer Your holy one [Holy One] to see corruption.
16:11 You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
