1.1 KiB
1.1 KiB
Psalm 16
- Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge.
- I said to the LORD, "You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you."
- The godly people in the land
are my true heroes!
I take pleasure in them!
- Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.
I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood
or even speak the names of their gods.
- LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
- The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
What a wonderful inheritance!
- I will bless the LORD who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
- I know the LORD is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
- No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
-
For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
-
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
