16:1 [A Mikhtam of David]. Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in Thee. 16:2 I said to the LORD, "Thou art my Lord; I have no good besides Thee." 16:3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. 16:4 The sorrows of those who have bartered for another [god] will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their libations of blood, Nor shall I take their names upon my lips. 16:5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; Thou dost support my lot. 16:6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is 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 is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. 16:10 For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt Thou allow Thy Holy One to undergo decay. 16:11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; In Thy presence is fulness of joy; In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.
