Psalms 16:5

3 As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in ^awhom is all my delight.”

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of ^ablood I will not offer,
^bNor take up their names on my lips.

5 O Lord, You¹ are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.

7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My¹ heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

8 ^aI have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will¹ rest in hope.

10 ^aFor You will not leave my soul in¹ Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to¹ see corruption.

11 You will show me the ^apath of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
