WMB: Psalms 16

=> Chapters

A Poem by David.

[1] Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

[2] My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord.

Apart from you I have no good thing.”

[3] As for the holy ones who are in the earth,

they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

[4] Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god.

Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,

nor take their names on my lips.

[5] The LORD assigned my portion and my cup.

You made my lot secure.

[6] The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places.

Yes, I have a good inheritance.

[7] I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel.

Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

[8] I have set the LORD always before me.

Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

[9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices.

My body shall also dwell in safety.

[10] For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,

neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

[11] You will show me the path of life.

In your presence is fullness of joy.

In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

16:10 Sheol is the place of the dead.
