Psalms 16:3-8

3As for God’s chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much –

4their troubles multiply, they desire other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods, nor will I make vows in the name of their gods.

5Lord, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure.

6It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land.

7I will praise the Lord who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.

8I constantly trust in the Lord; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended.
