Psalms 16

The Bible in Basic English BBE

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

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

3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble 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.

5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.

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

7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.

8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.

10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 6 (A mikhtam Dovid). Be shomer over me, O El: for in Thee do I hide myself.

2 I said unto Hashem, Thou art Adonoi of me; besides Thee I have no good;

3 But to the Kedoshim that are in ha’aretz, they are the glorious ones, in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after other g-ds; their nesakhim (drink offerings) of dahm will I not offer, nor take up their shmot (names [of idols]) on my lips.

5 Hashem is the chelek (allotted share) of mine inheritance and of my kos (cup [of blessing]); Thou maintainest my goral (lot, allotment by the divine will).

6 The boundary lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly nachalah (inheritance).

7 I will bless Hashem, Who hath given me counsel; my mind also instructs me in the night seasons.

8 I have set Hashem always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

9 Therefore my lev is glad, and my kavod rejoiceth; my basar also shall dwell securely [see 1Th 5:23 OJBC].

10 For Thou wilt not abandon my nefesh in Sheol; neither wilt Thou allow Thine Chasid to see shachat (corruption, the pit, the grave, the abyss of corruption; see Ac 2:24).

11 Thou wilt show me the Orach Chayyim (the path of life); in Thy presence is fulness of joy, at Thy right hand there are pleasures netzach (for evermore).
