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.

Psalm 16
A miktam #16:0 Unknown musical term. by David.
1Protect me, O God, because I take refuge in you.
2I said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord. Without you, I have nothing good.”
3Those who lead holy lives on earth
are the noble ones who fill me with joy.
4Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows.
I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood
or use my lips to speak their names.
5The Lord is my inheritance and my cup.
You are the one who determines my destiny.
6Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me.
Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.
7I will praise the Lord, who advises me.
My conscience warns me at night.
8I always keep the Lord in front of me.
When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.
9That is why my heart is glad and my soul rejoices.
My body rests securely
10because you do not abandon my soul to the grave
or allow your holy one to decay.
11You make the path of life known to me.
Complete joy is in your presence.
Pleasures are by your side forever.
