Psalm 16
Michtam of David.
1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Psalm 16:1 Psalm 16.1 Michtam: or, A golden Psalm
2O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Psalm 16:4 Psalm 16.4 hasten…: or, give gifts to another
5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Psalm 16:5 Psalm 16.5 of mine…: Heb. of my part
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Psalm 16:9 Psalm 16.9 rest…: Heb. dwell confidently
10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
