Psalms 16:3-8

3When I think about your own people who live in this land, it makes me happy! They are truly great people!

4But many troubles will come to people who choose to worship other gods. I will not join with them to offer gifts of blood to their gods. I will never use the names of their gods to make promises.

5You, Lord, are all that I need. What you give to me is enough, for me and for my descendants.

6Yes, you have given to me a good way of life. Your gifts are better than good fields or valuable land.

7I will praise the Lord, who is my guide through life. In the dark nights, you help me to learn what is right.

8I will always trust the Lord to be with me. He is very near to me, so I will not be upset.
