Psalms 16

You Will Not Abandon My Soul

A Miktama of David.

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

Practicing the Presence of God

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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