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.
