Psalm 16

||Michtam of David. 1 Preserve me, O God: afor in thee do I put my trust. 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: bMy goodness extendeth not to thee; 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, And to the excellent, cin whom is all my delight. 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that ||hasten after ccanother god: Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, dNor etake up their names into my lips. 5 The Lord is fthe portion †of mine ginheritance and of my hcup: Thou maintainest my ilot. 6 The ilines are fallen unto me in jpleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage. 7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: My kreins also instruct me lin the night seasons. 8 mI have nset the Lord always before me: Because ohe is at my right hand, pI shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and qmy glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall †rest in hope. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in rhell; sNeither wilt thou suffer thine tHoly One to see ucorruption. 11 Thou wilt shew me wthe path of life: In thy presence is xfulness of joy; At thy right hand there are ypleasures for evermore.
