PS-16:1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I

put my trust.

PS-16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my

Lord: my

goodness [extendeth] not to thee;

PS-16:3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to]

the excellent,

in whom [is] all my delight.

PS-16:4 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.

PS-16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my

cup: thou

maintainest my lot.

PS-16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea,

I have a

goodly heritage.

PS-16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my

reins also

instruct me in the night seasons.

PS-16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at

my right

hand, I shall not be moved.

PS-16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my

flesh also

shall rest in hope.

PS-16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt

thou suffer

thine Holy One to see corruption.

PS-16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence

[is] fulness of

joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.
