Psalms 16:3-8

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

5The Lord is the 9portion of my inheritance and my 10cup; You support my 11lot.6The measuring 12lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; Indeed, my inheritance is 13beautiful to me.

7I will bless the Lord who has 14advised me; Indeed, my 15 16mind instructs me in the night.8 17I have 18set the Lord continually before me; Because He is 19at my right hand, 20I will not be shaken.
