Psalms 16 — BBE

Michtam. Of David.

16Verse 1Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
^{Verse 2}O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
^{Verse 3}As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
^{Verse 4}Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
^{Verse 5}The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
^{Verse 6}Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
^{Verse 7}I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
^{Verse 8}I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
^{Verse 9}Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
^{Verse 10}For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.
^{Verse 11}You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
