Psalm
Psalm, 16
A mikʹtam*1 of David.
1 Protect me, O God, for I have taken refuge in you.
2 I have said to Jehovah: “You are Jehovah, my Source of goodness.
3 And the holy ones in the earth, The majestic ones, bring me great delight.”
4 Those who pursue other gods multiply their sorrows. I will never pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will my lips mention their names.
5 Jehovah is my portion, my allotted share, and my cup. You safeguard my inheritance.
6 Pleasant places have been measured out to me. Yes, I am content with my inheritance.
7 I will praise Jehovah, who has given me advice. Even during the night, my innermost thoughts*1 correct me.
|
8 I keep Jehovah before me constantly. Because he is at my right hand, I will never be shaken.*1
|
9 So my heart rejoices, my whole being*1 is joyful. And I reside*2 in security.
|
10 For you will not leave me in*1 the Grave.*2 You will not allow your loyal one to see the pit.*3
|
11 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence*1 is abundant joy; There is happiness*2 at your right hand forever.
