Psalm 16

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Mikhtam. By David: Protect me, God, for you are my refuge.

2 I said to ADONAI, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good outside of you."

3 The holy people in the land are the ones who are worthy of honor; all my pleasure is in them.

4 Those who run after another god multiply their sorrows; To such gods I will not offer drink offerings of blood or take their names on my lips.

5 ADONAI, my assigned portion, my cup: you safeguard my share.

6 Pleasant places were measured out for me; I am content with my heritage.

7 I bless ADONAI, my counselor; at night my inmost being instructs me.

8 I always set ADONAI before me; with him at my right hand, I can never be moved;

9 so my heart is glad, my glory rejoices, and my body too rests in safety;

10 for you will not abandon me to Sh'ol, you will not let your faithful one see the Abyss.

11 You make me know the path of life; in your presence is unbounded joy, in your right hand eternal delight.

New Living Translation NLT

1 Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.

2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”

3 The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!

4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.

5 LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.

6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!

7 I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.

8 I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

9 No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.

10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.

11 You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
