16:1  (A special psalm by David.) Protect me, Lord God! I run to you for safety,
16:2  and I have said, “Only you are my Lord! Every good thing I have is a gift from you.”
16:3  Your people are wonderful, and they make me happy,
16:4  but worshipers of other gods will have much sorrow. I refuse to offer sacrifices of blood to those gods or worship in their name.
16:5  You, Lord, are all I want! You are my choice, and you keep me safe.
16:6  You make my life pleasant, and my future is bright.
16:7  I praise you, Lord, for being my guide. Even in the darkest night, your teachings fill my mind.
16:8  I will always look to you, as you stand beside me and protect me from fear.
16:9  With all my heart, I will celebrate, and I can safely rest.
16:10  I am your chosen one. You won't leave me in the grave or let my body decay.
16:11  You have shown me the path to life, and you make me glad by being near to me. Sitting at your right side, I will always be joyful.
