The Book of Psalms, Chapter 16
|
1 |
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
|
2 |
O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;
|
3 |
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in
whom is all my delight.
|
4 |
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god:
their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their
names into my lips.
|
5 |
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou
maintainest my lot.
|
6 |
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
|
7 |
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also
instruct me in the night seasons.
|
8 |
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right
hand, I shall not be moved.
|
9 |
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also
shall rest in hope.
|
10 |
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
|
11 |
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness
of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
