📖 Psalms 16
-
1
Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
-
2
My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
-
3
As for the saints 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
Yahweh 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 Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
-
8
I have set Yahweh 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 forevermore. A Prayer by David.
