Psalms 16:2-6

21I said to the Lord, “You are 2my Lord; I 3have no good besides You.”3As for the 45saints who are in the earth, 6They are the majestic ones 7in whom is all my delight.4The 89sorrows of those who have 10bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of 11blood, Nor will I 12take their names upon my lips.

5The Lord is the 13portion of my inheritance and my 14cup; You support my 15lot.6The 16lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is 17beautiful to me.
