Psalms 16

PSALM XVI.
God’s ain are brawlie aff, an’ fu’ weel contentit.
Michtam#Heb. Gowden: siclike as on Ps 56; 57; 58; 59; 60 Headins, & c. o’ David’s.
1Waird me weel, O God, for I lippen till yerlane.#Ps 25:20
2Ye hae said until the Lord, My Lord, ye’re a’ my ain; I hae nought that’s gude, abune yersel.#16:2 Our Inglis taks this a’ clean anither gate: the Hebrew’s jimp clear.
3For sants i’ the lan’, themsels an’ the best; my pleasur’s a’ amang them.
4Mair dule sal they hae, wha mel wi’ ony ither: I sal neither toom till them their williewaughts o’ bluid; no, nor lift their vera names intil my mouthe.#Josh 23:7; Hos 2:16, 17#16:4 Heb. lips.
5The Lord himsel’ s the fow o’ my ha’din an’ my caup;#Deut 32:9; Ps 73:26; 142:5; Lam 3:24 my luck yerlane hae lucken’d.
6The lines hae fa’n till me in unco blythesome bits; na, the ha’din I hae fa’n ’s unco braw.
7I maun blythe-bid the Lord, wha gies me wyss rede; an’ my lisk, night by night, hauds me ay learnin.#Ps 17:3
8The Lord evirmair hae I set fornenst mysel:#Acts 2:25 for he’s at my right han’, I sal ne’er be sair steerit.#Ps 73:23; 121:5
9Wharthro’ my heart’s fu’ fain, an’ my gudeliheid#Ps 30:12; 57:8 fu’ blythe is: na, my vera bouk itsel bides in tryst.
10For#Ps 49:15; Acts 2:31; 13:35 my saul ye winna lea’ i’ the lang hame o’ dead; ye winna gie yer dearest ane till see the sheugh o’ dule.
11Yersel sal gar me ken the vera gate o’ life: rowth o’ joies afore thy face is;#Ps 17:15; 21:6; Mat 5:8; 1 Cor 13:12; 1 John 3:2 pleasurs thrang at thy right han’ evir mair.
