PsalmsPsalm 16 |
|
1 PRESERVE me, O God; for in thee do I put my trust. |
|
2 I have said unto the LORD, Thou art my LORD, and my goodness cometh from thee; |
|
3 I said it also to the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. |
|
4 The sorrows of the wicked shall be multiplied in rapid succession that I may not pour out their libations of blood; nor will I mention their names with my lips. |
|
5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; thou shalt restore my inheritance. |
|
6 My portion of the land fell to me in goodly places; yea, I have been pleased with my heritage. |
|
7 I will bless the LORD, for he has given me counsel; my intuition also guides me during the night. |
|
8 I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
|
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; my flesh also shall rest in hope. |
|
10 For thou hast left not my soul in Sheol; neither hast thou suffered thy Holy One to see corruption. |
|
11 Thou wilt show me the path of life, and I shall be filled with the joy of thy countenance, with the pleasure of victory of thy right hand. |
