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.

Tehillim (Psa) 16

1Mikhtam. By David:
Protect me, God,
for you are my refuge.
2I said to Adonai, “You are my Lord;
I have nothing good outside of you.”
3The holy people in the land are the ones
who are worthy of honor; all my pleasure is in them.
4Those who run after another god
multiply their sorrows;
To such gods I will not offer
drink offerings of blood
or take their names on my lips.
5Adonai, my assigned portion, my cup:
you safeguard my share.
6Pleasant places were measured out for me;
I am content with my heritage.
7I bless Adonai, my counselor;
at night my inmost being instructs me.
8I always set Adonai before me;
with him at my right hand, I can never be moved;
9so my heart is glad, my glory rejoices,
and my body too rests in safety;
10for you will not abandon me to Sh’ol,
you will not let your faithful one see the Abyss.
11You make me know the path of life;
in your presence is unbounded joy,
in your right hand eternal delight.
