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:
