Psalms 16

GNT

NIV

1 Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord; all the good things I have come from you."
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 How excellent are the Lord's faithful people! My greatest pleasure is to be with them.
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 rush to other gods bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their sacrifices; I will not worship their gods.
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 You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are!
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I praise the Lord, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I am always aware of the Lord's presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure,
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
10 because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You will show me the path that leads to life; your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever.
11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
