Psalms 16:1-9

Psalms 16:1-9 NET

Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you. I say to the LORD, “You are the Lord, my only source of well-being.” As for God’s chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much – their troubles multiply, they desire other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods, nor will I make vows in the name of their gods. LORD, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure. It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land. I will praise the LORD who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn. I constantly trust in the LORD; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended. So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.
