16:1 A miktam of David. Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you.
16:2 Oh my soul you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. I have no good apart from you.”
16:3 With regard to the saints who are in the land, they are the noble ones in whom is all my desire.
16:4 Those who hurry after another god increase their sorrows. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names on my lips.
16:5 Yahweh is the portion which is my share and my cup. You hold my lot.
16:6 The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Yes, my inheritance is delightful for me.
16:7 I will bless Yahweh who advises me; yes, at night my innermost being instructs me.
16:8 I have set Yahweh before me always. Because he is at my right hand I will not be shaken.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. Yes, my body will dwell in safety,
16:10 for you will not abandon my soul to Sheol; you will not give your faithful one to see the grave.
16:11 You will make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forever.
