Bible Text

Psalm 16 (ESV)

A miktam of David.

¹ Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

² I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

    I have no good apart from you.”

³ As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,

    in whom is all my delight.

⁴ The sorrows of those who run after another god shall

    multiply;

    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out

    or take their names on my lips.

⁵ The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;

    you hold my lot.

⁶ The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷ I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;

    in the night also my heart instructs me.

⁸ I have set the Lord always before me;

    because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;

    my flesh also dwells secure.

¹⁰ For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,

    or let your holy one see corruption.

¹¹ You make known to me the path of life;

    in your presence there is fullness of joy;

    at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
