Psalms 16:3-8

3Those who lead holy lives on earth are the noble ones who fill me with joy.

4Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows. I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood or use my lips to speak their names.

5The Lord is my inheritance and my cup. You are the one who determines my destiny.

6Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me. Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.

7I will praise the Lord, who advises me. My conscience warns me at night.

8I always keep the Lord in front of me. When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.
