←Prev   Psalms 16 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



16:1  A miktam of David. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
16:2  I say to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.’
16:3  I say of the holy people who are in the land, ‘They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.’
16:4  Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
16:5  Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
16:6  The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
16:7  I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
16:8  I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
16:9  Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
16:10  because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
16:11  You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
