Psalms 16:1-8

KJV

NIV

1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
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 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
