Psalm 16Confidence in the Lord
|
|
|
|
1. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
|
|
|
|
2. I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
|
|
I have nothing good besides you."
|
|
|
|
3. As for the holy people who are in the land,
|
|
they are the noble ones.
|
|
All my delight is in them.
|
|
|
|
4. The sorrows of those who take another god
|
|
for themselves will multiply;
|
|
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
|
|
and I will not speak their names with my lips.
|
|
|
|
5. Lord, you are my portion
|
|
and my cup of blessing;
|
|
you hold my future.
|
|
|
|
6. The boundary lines have fallen for me
|
|
in pleasant places;
|
|
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
|
|
|
|
7. I will bless the Lord who counsels me--
|
|
even at night when my thoughts trouble me.
|
|
|
|
8. I always let the Lord guide me.
|
|
Because he is at my right hand,
|
|
I will not be shaken.
|
|
|
|
9. Therefore my heart is glad
|
|
and my whole being rejoices;
|
|
my body also rests securely.
|
|
|
|
10. For you will not abandon me to Sheol;
|
|
you will not allow your faithful one to see decay.
|
|
|
|
11. You reveal the path of life to me;
|
|
in your presence is abundant joy;
|
|
at your right hand are eternal pleasures.
