Psalms 15 — LXXSB

(16) A writing of David.

15Verse 1Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
^{Verse 2}I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you have no need of my⁺goodness.
^{Verse 3}On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
^{Verse 4}Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
^{Verse 5}The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
^{Verse 6}The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
^{Verse 7}I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even⁺till night.
^{Verse 8}I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
^{Verse 9}Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
^{Verse 10}because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
^{Verse 11}You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand there are delights for ever.
