Psalms 16
You Will Not Abandon My Soul
A aMiktam ▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term of David.
1Preserve me, O God, for in you I ctake refuge.2I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
dI have no good apart from you.”
3As for ethe saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight. ▼
▼Or To the saints in the land, the excellent in whom is all my delight, I say:
4The sorrows of those who run after ▼
▼Or who acquire
another god shall multiply;their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or htake their names on my lips.
5The Lord is imy chosen portion and my jcup;
you hold my klot.
6 lThe lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7I bless the Lord who mgives me counsel;
in nthe night also my oheart instructs me. ▼
▼Hebrew my kidneys instruct me
8 qI have rset the Lord always before me;
because he is at my sright hand, I shall not be tshaken.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my uwhole being ▼
▼Hebrew my glory
rejoices;my flesh also dwells secure.
10For you will not abandon my soul to wSheol,
xor let your yholy one see zcorruption. ▼
▼Or see the pit
11You make known to me abthe path of life;
in your presence there is acfullness of joy;
at your right hand are adpleasures forevermore.
