Psalm 16
16
The Presence of the Lord
1A Miktam#16:1 Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalm 16 and Psalms 56–60. of David.
Preserve me, O God,
for in You I take refuge.
2I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from You I have no good thing.”
3As for the saints in the land,
they are the excellence
in whom all my delight resides.
4Sorrows will multiply
to those who chase other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood,
or speak their names with my lips.
5The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
You have made my lot secure.
6The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places;
surely my inheritance is delightful.
7I will bless the Lord who counsels me;
even at night my conscience instructs me.#16:7 Or my heart instructs me; Hebrew my kidneys instruct me
8I have set#16:8 LXX I foresaw the Lord always before me.
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will dwell securely.#16:9 LXX will dwell in hope
10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.#16:10 Cited in Acts 13:35
11You have made known to me the path of life;
You will fill me with joy in Your presence,#16:11 Cited in Acts 2:25–28
with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
