16:1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You do I take refuge. |
16:2 I have said to the LORD, "You are my LORD; I have no goodness apart from You." |
16:3 As for the saints in the earth, "They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight." |
16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood; and I will not take their names upon my lips. |
16:5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; You shall uphold my lot. |
16:6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance. |
16:7 I will bless the LORD Who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the nights. |
16:8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
16:9 Therefore My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh also shall rest in safety, |
16:10 For You will not abandon My soul to the grave; neither will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. |
16:11 You will make known to Me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. |
