Psalms Chapter 16

16 : 1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.

16 : 2 O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;

16 : 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

16 : 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

16 : 5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.

16 : 6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage.

16 : 7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct 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 shall rest in hope.

16 : 10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer 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 there are pleasures for ever more.
