16:1  Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.

16:2  I said to the LORD, "I acknowledge You as my Lord; I have no good besides You."

16:3  As for the saints who live in the earth, I consider them the majestic ones in whom I take delight.

16:4  The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will multiply; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

16:5  I regard The LORD as the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot.

16:6  The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage seems beautiful to me.

16:7  I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

16:8  I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He remains at my right hand, I will not fear instability.

16:9  Therefore my heart gladdens and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

16:10  For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

16:11  You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence dwells fullness of joy; In Your right hand there reside pleasures forever.
