Psalm 16

Michtam of David.

1PreserveH8104 me, O GodH410: for in thee do I put my trustH2620.1

2O my soul, thou hast saidH559 unto the LordH3068, Thou art my LordH136: my goodnessH2896 extendeth not to thee;

3But to the saintsH6918 thatH1992 are in the earthH776, and to the excellentH117, in whom is all my delightH2656.

4Their sorrowsH6094 shall be multipliedH7235 that hastenH4116 after anotherH312 god: their drink offeringsH5262 of bloodH1818 will I not offerH5258, norH1077 take upH5375 their namesH8034 into my lipsH8193.2

5The LordH3068 is the portionH4490 of mine inheritanceH2506 and of my cupH3563: thou maintainestH8551 my lotH1486.3

6The linesH2256 are fallenH5307 unto me in pleasantH5273 places; yea, I have a goodlyH8231 heritageH5159.

7I will blessH1288 the LordH3068, who hath given me counselH3289: my reinsH3629 also instructH3256 me in the night seasonsH3915.

8I have setH7737 the LordH3068 alwaysH8548 before me: because he is at my right handH3225, I shall not be movedH4131.

9Therefore my heartH3820 is gladH8055, and my gloryH3519 rejoicethH1523: my fleshH1320 also shall restH7931 in hopeH983.4

10For thou wilt not leaveH5800 my soulH5315 in hellH7585; neither wilt thou sufferH5414 thine Holy OneH2623 to seeH7200 corruptionH7845.

11Thou wilt shewH3045 me the pathH734 of lifeH2416: in thy presenceH6440 is fulnessH7648 of joyH8057; at thy right handH3225 there are pleasuresH5273 for evermoreH5331.
