Psalm 16 (New International Version)
Psalm 16
A miktam of David. [a]
1 Keep me safe, O God,for in you I take refuge. 2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing." 3 As for the saints who are in the land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. [b] 4 The sorrows of those will increase
who run after other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood
or take up their names on my lips. 5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance. 7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me. 8 I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, [c]
nor will you let your Holy One [d] see decay. 11 You have made [e] known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.Footnotes:
