Psalm 16

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
