Psalm 16

CEB

NKJV

1 Protect me, God, because I take refuge in you.
1 A Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you, I have nothing good."
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You."
3 Now as for the "holy ones" in the land, the "magnificent ones" that I was so happy about;
3 As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
4 let their suffering increase because they hurried after a different god. I won't participate in their blood offerings; I won't let their names cross my lips.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.
5 You, LORD, are my portion, my cup; you control my destiny.
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
6 The property lines have fallen beautifully for me; yes, I have a lovely home.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the LORD who advises me; even at night I am instructed in the depths of my mind.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I always put the LORD in front of me; I will not stumble because he is on my right side.
8 I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 That's why my heart celebrates and my mood is joyous; yes, my whole body will rest in safety
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 because you won't abandon my life to the grave; you won't let your faithful follower see the pit.
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You teach me the way of life. In your presence is total celebration. Beautiful things are always in your right hand.
11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
