New American Standard Bible 1995

Psalms 16:3-8

3As for the 1 2saints who are in the earth, 3They are the majestic ones 4in whom is all my delight.4The 5 6sorrows of those who have 7bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of 8blood, Nor will I 9take their names upon my lips.

5The Lord is the 10portion of my inheritance and my 11cup; You support my 12lot.6The 13lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is 14beautiful to me.

7I will bless the Lord who has 15counseled me; Indeed, my 16 17mind instructs me in the night.8 18I have 19set the Lord continually before me; Because He is 20at my right hand, 21I will not be shaken.
