16:1  A miktam of David. Protect me, God, because I trust in you.
16:2  I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord. Every good thing I have comes from you.”
16:3  There are godly people in the world. I enjoy them.
16:4  But those who turn to idols will have much pain. I will not offer blood to those idols. I won’t even speak their names.
16:5  No, the Lord is all I need. He takes care of me.
16:6  My share in life has been pleasant. My part has been beautiful.
16:7  I praise the Lord because he guides me. Even at night, I feel his leading.
16:8  I keep the Lord before me always. Because he is close by my side I will not be hurt.
16:9  So I rejoice, and I am glad. Even my body has hope.
16:10  This is because you will not leave me in the grave. You will not let your holy one rot.
16:11  You will teach me God’s way to live. Being with you will fill me with joy. At your right hand I will find pleasure forever.
