Psalms - Chapter 16 | New International Version

  • 1. {A miktam of David.} Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
  • 2. I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
  • 3. As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
  • 4. The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.
  • 5. LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
  • 6. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
  • 7. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
  • 8. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
  • 9. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
  • 10. because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
  • 11. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
