Psalms 16

English Standard Version ESV

1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you."

3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.

4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.

5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.

6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

7 I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.

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

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.

10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.

11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Keep me safe, O God, I've run for dear life to you.

2 I say to God, "Be my Lord!" Without you, nothing makes sense.

3 And these God-chosen lives all around - what splendid friends they make!

4 Don't just go shopping for a god. Gods are not for sale. I swear I'll never treat god-names like brand-names.

5 My choice is you, God, first and only. And now I find I'm your choice!

6 You set me up with a house and yard. And then you made me your heir!

7 The wise counsel God gives when I'm awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart.

8 Day and night I'll stick with God; I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go.

9 I'm happy from the inside out, and from the outside in, I'm firmly formed.

10 You canceled my ticket to hell - that's not my destination!

11 Now you've got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I'm on the right way.
