Psalms 16:1-6

NCV

NIV

1 Protect me, God, because I trust in you.
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord. Every good thing I have comes from you."
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 As for the godly people in the world, they are the wonderful ones I enjoy.
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 But those who turn to idols will have much pain. I will not offer blood to those idols or even speak their names.
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 No, the Lord is all I need. He takes care of me.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 My share in life has been pleasant; my part has been beautiful.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
