Psalms 16 — JPSTN
16Verse 1Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.Verse 2I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';Verse 3As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.Verse 4Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.Verse 5O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.Verse 6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.Verse 7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.Verse 8I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.Verse 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;Verse 10For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.Verse 11Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
