Psalms 16 — GNB

16Verse 1“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.^{Verse 2}I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!^{Verse 3}The holy that are in the land, and the excellent,—in them is all my delight.^{Verse 4}They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.^{Verse 5}Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!^{Verse 6}My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.^{Verse 7}I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.^{Verse 8}I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.^{Verse 9}Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.^{Verse 10}For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit.^{Verse 11}Thou wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
