16:1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge. 16:2 I say to the LORD, 'Thou art my Lord;I have no good apart from thee.' 16:3 As for the saints in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight. 16:4 Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows;their libations of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips. 16:5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;thou holdest my lot. 16:6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;yea, I have a goodly heritage. 16:7 I bless the LORD who gives me counsel;in the night also my heart instructs me. 16:8 I keep 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 soul rejoices;my body also dwells secure. 16:10 For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit. 16:11 Thou dost show me the path of life;in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
