Context of Psalms 16:5
3As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the majestic ones; all my delight is in them. 4The pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. 6The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; Indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me. 7I will bless the Lord who has advised me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.
