Psalms

Chapter 16

  1. 1

    Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

  2. 2

    O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

  3. 3

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

  4. 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.

  5. 5

    The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

  6. 6

    The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

  7. 7

    I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

  8. 8

    I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

  9. 9

    Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

  10. 10

    For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

  11. 11

    Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
