Psalm 16

Psalm 16
A miktam of David.
1My God, keep me safe.
I go to you for safety.
2I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord.
Without you, I don’t have anything that is good.”
3I say about God’s people who live in our land, “They are the noble ones.
I take great delight in them.”
4Those who run after other gods
will suffer more and more.
I will not pour out offerings of blood to those gods.
My lips will not speak their names.
5 Lord, you alone are everything I need.
You make my life secure.
6I am very pleased with what you have given me.
I am very happy with what I’ve received from you.
7I will praise the Lord. He gives me good advice.
Even at night my heart teaches me.
8I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
He is at my right hand.
So I will always be secure.
9So my heart is glad. Joy is on my tongue.
My body also will be secure.
10You will not leave me in the place of the dead.
You will not let your faithful one rot away.
11You always show me the path of life.
You will fill me with joy when I am with you.
You will make me happy forever at your right hand.

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.
