Psalms 16

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.	1 [In a quiet voice Of David] Protect me, O God, in you is my refuge.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;	2 To Yahweh I say, 'You are my Lord, my happiness is in none
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.	3 of the sacred spirits of the earth.' They only take advantage of al who love them.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.	4 People flock to their teeming idols. Never shal I pour libations to them! Never take their names on mylips.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.	5 My birthright, my cup is Yahweh; you, you alone, hold my lot secure.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.	6 The measuring-line marks out for me a delightful place, my birthright is al I could wish.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.	7 I bless Yahweh who is my counsel or, even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.	8 I keep Yahweh before me always, for with him at my right hand, nothing can shake me.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.	9 So my heart rejoices, my soul delights, my body too wil rest secure,
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.	10 for you wil not abandon me to Sheol, you cannot al ow your faithful servant to see the abyss.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.	11 You wil teach me the path of life, unbounded joy in your presence, at your right hand delight for ever.
