Psalm 16

- Michtam of David.

Preserve me, O God: for
in thee do I put my trust.

O my soul, thou hast said unto
the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my

goodness extendeth not to thee;

But to the saints that are in
the earth, and to the excellent,

in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that hasten after another god:

will I not offer, nor take up their

names into my lips.

The Lord is the portion of
mine inheritance and of my

cup: thou maintainest my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant
places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the Lord, who hath
given me counsel: my reins also

instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the Lord always before
me: because he is at my right

hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth: my

flesh also shall rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul
in hell; neither wilt thou suffer

thine Holy One to see corruption.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy
presence is fulness of joy; at thy right

hand there are pleasures for evermore.
