Psalm 16
A Miktam of David.q
1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.r
2 IE said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have nothing good besides you.”F,s
3 As for the holy people who are in the land,t
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.u
5 Lord, you are my portionG
and my cup of blessing;
you hold my future.v
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.w
7 I will bless the Lord who counsels mex—
even at night when my thoughts trouble me.H,y
8 I always let the Lord guide me.I
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.z
and my whole being rejoices;
my body also rests securely.aa
10 For you will not abandon me to Sheol;ab
you will not allow your faithful one to see decay.ac
11 You reveal the path of life to me;
in your presence is abundant joy;ad
at your right hand are eternal pleasures.ae
