Psalm 16

New Century Version NCV

1 Protect me, God, because I trust in you.

2 I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord. Every good thing I have comes from you."

3 As for the godly people in the world, they are the wonderful ones I enjoy.

4 But those who turn to idols will have much pain. I will not offer blood to those idols or even speak their names.

5 No, the Lord is all I need. He takes care of me.

6 My share in life has been pleasant; my part has been beautiful.

7 I praise the Lord because he advises me. Even at night, I feel his leading.

8 I keep the Lord before me always. Because he is close by my side, I will not be hurt.

9 So I rejoice and am glad. Even my body has hope,

10 because you will not leave me in the grave. You will not let your holy one rot.

11 You will teach me how to live a holy life. Being with you will fill me with joy; at your right hand I will find pleasure forever. A prayer of David.

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.
