Psalm 16

Confidence in the Lord

A Davidic Miktam.(a)

1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.(b)
2 I[a] said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord;
I have nothing good besides You."[b](c)
3 As for the holy people who are in the land,(d)
they are the noble ones.
All my delight is in them.
4 The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.(e)

5 Lord, You are my portion[c]
and my cup of blessing;
You hold my future.(f)
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.(g)

7 I will praise the Lord who counsels me(h)
even at night my conscience instructs me.(i)
8 I keep the Lord in mind[d] always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.(j)

9 Therefore my heart is glad
and my spirit rejoices;
my body also rests securely.(k)
10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol;(l)
You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay.(m)
11 You reveal the path of life to me;
in Your presence is abundant joy;(n)
in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.(o)
