Psalm 16

Revised Version 1895

Michtam of David.

1PreserveH8104 meH8104, O GodH410: for in thee doH8104 I put my trust.

2I have saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Thou art my LordH3068: I have noH1077 goodH2896 beyondH5921 thee.

3As for the saintsH6918 that are in the earthH776, they are the excellent in whomH834 is allH3605 my delightH2656.

4Their sorrowsH6094 shall be multipliedH7235 that exchange the LORD for anotherH312 god: their drink offerings of bloodH1818 will I notH1077 offerH5375, norH1077 takeH5375 their namesH8034 uponH5921 my lipsH8193.

5The LORDH3068 is the portionH2506 of mine inheritanceH2506 and of my cupH3563: thou maintainest my lotH1486.

6The lines are fallenH5307 unto meH5921 in pleasantH5273 places; yea, I have a goodly heritageH5159.

7I will blessH1288 the LORDH3068, who hath givenH3289 meH1288 counselH3289: yea, my reins instruct meH1288 in the nightH3915 seasons.

8I have set the LORDH3068 alwaysH8548 beforeH5048 meH5048: becauseH3588 he is at my rightH3225 handH3225, I shall notH3588 be movedH4131.

9Therefore my heartH3820 is gladH8055, and my gloryH3519 rejoiceth: my fleshH1320 also shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983.

10For thou wilt notH3808 leaveH5800 my soulH5315 to SheolH7585; neitherH3808 wilt thou suffer thine holyH2623 one to seeH7200 corruptionH7845.

11Thou wilt shew meH6440 the pathH734 of lifeH2416: in thy presenceH6440 is fulness of joyH8057; in thy rightH3225 handH3225 there are pleasures for evermore.
