Psalms 16

Psalm 16
Michtam of David.
1¶ Preserve me, O God: for in thee I have put my trust.
2I said unto the Lord, Thou art my goodness: I have no goodness apart from thee;
3to the saints that are in the earth and to the excellent: all my delight is towards them.
4The sorrows of those that hasten after another god shall be multiplied; their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; thou dost maintain my lot.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7I will bless the Lord, who gives me counsel: my kidneys also instruct me in the night seasons.
8¶ I have set the Lord always before me: because when he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest secure.
10For thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol; neither wilt thou suffer thy Merciful One to see corruption.
11Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

16
You Will Not Abandon My Soul
A #[Ps. 56, title; 57, title; 60, title]Miktam#16:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of David.
1Preserve me, O God, for in you I #See Ps. 11:1take refuge.
2I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
# [Ps. 73:25] I have no good apart from you.”
3As for #[Ex. 19:6; Deut. 7:6; 1 Pet. 2:9]the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.#16:3 Or To the saints in the land, the excellent in whom is all my delight, I say:
4The sorrows of those who run after#16:4 Or who acquire another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or #Ex. 23:13; Josh. 23:7take their names on my lips.
5The Lord is #Ps. 73:26; 119:57; 142:5; Num. 18:20; Lam. 3:24; [Deut. 32:9; Jer. 10:16; 51:19] my chosen portion and my #Ps. 23:5; 116:13 cup;
you hold my #Ps. 125:3lot.

Mic. 2:5
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7I bless the Lord who #See 1 Sam. 23:9-12; 2 Sam. 5:18, 19 gives me counsel;
in #Ps. 17:3; See Ps. 42:8 the night also my #Ps. 7:9heart instructs me.#16:7 Hebrew my kidneys instruct me
8 # Cited Acts 2:25-28 I have #Ps. 119:30 set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my #Ps. 109:31; 110:5; 121:5 right hand, I shall not be #Ps. 10:6; 15:5shaken.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my #Ps. 30:12; 57:8; 108:1; Gen. 49:6whole being#16:9 Hebrew my glory rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10For you will not abandon my soul to #See Job 21:13 Sheol,
# Cited Acts 13:35 or let your #Ps. 89:18; [Mark 1:24] holy one see #Ps. 49:9; 103:4corruption.#16:10 Or see the pit
11You make known to me #Matt. 7:14 the path of life;
in your presence there is #[Ps. 21:6] fullness of joy;
at your right hand are #Ps. 36:8pleasures forevermore.
