Psalms 16:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 Protect me, God, because I take refuge in you.

2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you, I have nothing good."

3 Now as for the "holy ones" in the land, the "magnificent ones" that I was so happy about;

4 let their suffering increase because they hurried after a different god. I won't participate in their blood offerings; I won't let their names cross my lips.

5 You, LORD, are my portion, my cup; you control my destiny.

6 The property lines have fallen beautifully for me; yes, I have a lovely home.

New International Version NIV

1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

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

3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”

4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.

5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.

6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
