PSALM 16
A miktam of David
Keep me safe, my God,
for in you I take my refuge.
I say of the Lord ,
"You are my Lord;
apart from you I have
no good thing."
I say of the holy people who
are in the land, they are the noble ones
in whom is all my delight".
Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods. LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even in night he instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the LORD, with him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, now will you let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; and you fill me joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
