Psalms 16

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

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

2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."

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

3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 shall also dwell in safety.

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

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

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

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

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.
