PSALM 16

The LORD, the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Salvation in Death.

A Mikhtam of David.

1[105] Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.

2[106]I said to the LORD, “You are [107]my Lord; I have nothing good besides You.”

3As for the [108]saints who are on the earth, [109]They are the majestic ones; all my delight is in them.

4[110]The pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

5The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot.

6The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; Indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me.

7I will bless the LORD who has advised me; Indeed, my [111]mind instructs me in the night.

8I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

10For You will not abandon my soul to [112]Sheol; You will not [113]allow Your [114]Holy One to [115]undergo decay.

11You will make known to me the way of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
