Psalms 16

Practicing the Presence of God

{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.

You Will Not Abandon My Soul

A Miktama of David.

Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; --

I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”

To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.

As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.b

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.

The sorrows of those who run afterc another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.

Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.d

I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole beinge rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.f

Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
