Psalms 16

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

1 <<A Poem by David.>> Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.

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

2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "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.”

3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the excellent 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.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take their names on my lips.

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

5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

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

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

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

7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

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

8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

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

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

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

10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, Neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

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.

11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
