Psalms 16:1-6

1 <Michtam. Of David.> Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.

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

2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

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

3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble 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 will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on 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 my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.

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

6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.

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