Psalms 16
1
Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2
My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord.
Apart from you I have no good thing.” 3 As for the saints who are on the earth, 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. 5 The LORD 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 the LORD, who has given me counsel.
Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the LORD always before me. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. 10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol,1 11 You will show me the path of life.
