6The land you have given me is a pleasant land.

What a wonderful inheritance!

7I will bless the Lord who guides me;

even at night my heart instructs me.

8I know the Lord is always with me.

I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

9No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.

My body rests in safety.

10For you will not leave my soul among the dead

or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.

11You will show me the way of life,

granting me the joy of your presence

and the pleasures of living with you forever.

Read in Logos
Psalm 16:10: For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;

in the night also my heart instructs me.

I have set the Lord always before me;

because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;

my flesh also dwells secure.

For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,

or let your holy one see corruption.

You make known to me the path of life;

in your presence there is fullness of joy;

at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

surely I have a delightful inheritance.

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;

even at night my heart instructs me.

I keep my eyes always on the Lord.

With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will rest secure,

because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,

nor will you let your faithful one see decay.

You make known to me the path of life;

you will fill me with joy in your presence,

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The boundary lines have fallen for me

in pleasant places;

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I will bless the Lord who counsels me—

even at night when my thoughts trouble me.

I always let the Lord guide me.

Because he is at my right hand,

I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad

and my whole being rejoices;

my body also rests securely.

For you will not abandon me to Sheol;

you will not allow your faithful one to see decay.

You reveal the path of life to me;

in your presence is abundant joy;

at your right hand are eternal pleasures.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.

Yes, my inheritance is delightful for me.

I will bless Yahweh who advises me;

yes, at night my innermost being instructs me.

I have set Yahweh before me always.

Because he is at my right hand I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices.

Yes, my body will dwell in safety,

for you will not abandon my soul to Sheol;

you will not give your faithful one to see the grave.

You will make known to me the path of life.

In your presence is fullness of joy.

At your right hand are pleasures forever.

KJV 1900King James Version

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;

Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel:

My reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the Lord always before me:

Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:

My flesh also shall rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;

Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life:

In thy presence is fulness of joy;

At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
