Psalm 16

New International Version NIV

1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

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

3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”

4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.

5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.

6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.

7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.

8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,

10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.

11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

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.
