| 16:1 | The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah's VictoryA Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. |
| 16:2 | O my soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You." |
| 16:3 | As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight." |
| 16:4 | Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips. |
| 16:5 | O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. |
| 16:6 | The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance. |
| 16:7 | I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. |
| 16:8 | I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. |
| 16:9 | Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. |
| 16:10 | For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your 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 are pleasures forevermore. |
