Psalms - Chapter 16 | English Standard Version

  • 1. A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
  • 2. I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you."
  • 3. As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
  • 4. The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.
  • 5. The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
  • 6. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
  • 7. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
  • 8. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
  • 9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
  • 10. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
  • 11. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
