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.

Psalms 16
16
A Secret Treasure of David.
1Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
2Thou hast said to Jehovah, ‘My Lord Thou [art];’ My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
4Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
6Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
9Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
10For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.
11Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
