Psalms 16
Psalm 16
A miktam[a] of David.
1 Keep me safe,(a) my God,
for in you I take refuge.(b)
2 I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;(c)
apart from you I have no good thing."(d)
3 I say of the holy people(e) who are in the land,(f)
"They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight."
4 Those who run after other gods(g) will suffer(h) more and more.
I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
or take up their names(i) on my lips.
5 Lord, you alone are my portion(j) and my cup;(k)
you make my lot(l) secure.
6 The boundary lines(m) have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.(n)
7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;(o)
even at night(p) my heart instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand,(q) I will not be shaken.(r)
9 Therefore my heart is glad(s) and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,(t)
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,(u)
nor will you let your faithful[b] one(v) see decay.(w)
11 You make known to me the path of life;(x)
you will fill me with joy in your presence,(y)
with eternal pleasures(z) at your right hand.(aa)
