16:1  KEEP {and} protect me, O God, for in You I have found refuge, {and} in You do I put my trust {and} hide myself.

16:2  I say to the Lord, You are my Lord; I have no good beside {or} beyond You.

16:3  As for the godly (the saints) who are in the land, they are the excellent, the noble, {and} the glorious, in whom is all my delight.

16:4  Their sorrows shall be multiplied who choose another god; their drink offerings of blood will I not offer or take their names upon my lips.

16:5  The Lord is my chosen {and} assigned portion, my cup; You hold {and} maintain my lot.

16:6  The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good heritage.

16:7  I will bless the Lord, Who has given me counsel; yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

16:8  I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

16:9  Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my inner self] rejoices; my body too shall rest {and} confidently dwell in safety,

16:10  For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the place of the dead), neither will You suffer Your holy one [Holy One] to see corruption.

16:11  You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
