Psalm 16
16
You Will Not Abandon My Soul
A #[Ps. 56, title; 57, title; 60, title]Miktam#16:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of David.
1Preserve me, O God, for in you I #See Ps. 11:1take refuge.
2I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
# [Ps. 73:25] I have no good apart from you.”
3As for #[Ex. 19:6; Deut. 7:6; 1 Pet. 2:9]the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.#16:3 Or To the saints in the land, the excellent in whom is all my delight, I say:
4The sorrows of those who run after#16:4 Or who acquire another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or #Ex. 23:13; Josh. 23:7take their names on my lips.
5The Lord is #Ps. 73:26; 119:57; 142:5; Num. 18:20; Lam. 3:24; [Deut. 32:9; Jer. 10:16; 51:19] my chosen portion and my #Ps. 23:5; 116:13 cup;
you hold my #Ps. 125:3lot.
6 #
Mic. 2:5
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7I bless the Lord who #See 1 Sam. 23:9-12; 2 Sam. 5:18, 19 gives me counsel;
in #Ps. 17:3; See Ps. 42:8 the night also my #Ps. 7:9heart instructs me.#16:7 Hebrew my kidneys instruct me
8 # Cited Acts 2:25-28 I have #Ps. 119:30 set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my #Ps. 109:31; 110:5; 121:5 right hand, I shall not be #Ps. 10:6; 15:5shaken.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my #Ps. 30:12; 57:8; 108:1; Gen. 49:6whole being#16:9 Hebrew my glory rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10For you will not abandon my soul to #See Job 21:13 Sheol,
# Cited Acts 13:35 or let your #Ps. 89:18; [Mark 1:24] holy one see #Ps. 49:9; 103:4corruption.#16:10 Or see the pit
11You make known to me #Matt. 7:14 the path of life;
in your presence there is #[Ps. 21:6] fullness of joy;
at your right hand are #Ps. 36:8pleasures forevermore.

The Path of Eternal Life
1A Michtam of David. Keep me safe, O God, for in You I have found shelter.
2I said to Adonai: “You are my Lord— I have no good apart from You.”
3As for the kedoshim who are in the land, they are noble—in them is all my delight.
4As for those who run after another god, may their sorrows multiply. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor lift up their names with my lips.
5Adonai is my portion and my cup. You cast my lot.
6My boundary lines fall in pleasant places —surely my heritage is beautiful.
7I will bless Adonai, who counsels me. Even at night my heart instructs me.
8I have set Adonai always before me. Since He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9So my heart is glad and my soul rejoices. My body also rests secure.
10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol nor let Your faithful one see the Pit.
11You make known to me the path of life. Abundance of joys are in Your presence, eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
