Psalms 16

The Lord the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.

A ▼
▼ Possibly Epigrammatic Poem or Atonement Psalm
Mikhtam of David.

1 bPreserve me, O God, for cI take refuge in You.
 2 ▼
▼ Or O my soul, you said
I said to the Lord, “You are ▼
▼ Or the Lord
my Lord;
I fhave no good besides You.”
 3As for the ▼
▼ Lit holy ones; i.e. the godly
 , hsaints who are in the earth,
▼
▼ Lit And the majestic ones...delight
They are the majestic ones jin whom is all my delight.
 4The ▼
▼ I.e. sorrows due to idolatry
 , lsorrows of those who have ▼
▼ Or hastened to
bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of nblood,
Nor will I otake their names upon my lips.

 5The Lord is the pportion of my inheritance and my qcup;
You support my rlot.
 6The slines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is tbeautiful to me.

 7I will bless the Lord who has ucounseled me;
Indeed, my ▼
▼ Lit kidneys, figurative for inner man
 , wmind instructs me in the night.
 8 xI have yset the Lord continually before me;
Because He is zat my right hand, aaI will not be shaken.
 9Therefore abmy heart is glad and acmy glory rejoices;
My flesh also will addwell securely.
 10For You aewill not abandon my soul to ▼
▼ I.e. the nether world
Sheol;
Nor will You ▼
▼ Lit give
 , ahallow Your ▼
▼ Or godly one
Holy One to ▼
▼ Or see corruption or the pit
undergo decay.
 11You will make known to me akthe path of life;
In alYour presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are ampleasures forever.
