16:1 Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. 16:2 I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You." 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 drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. 16:5 The Lord is 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 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 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 is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
