Psalms 16

PSALM 16.
1The prayer of David.
Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
2Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
3Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
4That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
5Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
6I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
7Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
8From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
9From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
10they have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
11They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
12They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
13Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword
14from the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
15But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.

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.
