Psalms 16


font

1[In a quiet voice Of David] Protect me, O God, in you is my refuge.2To Yahweh I say, 'You are my Lord, my happiness is in none3of the sacred spirits of the earth.' They only take advantage of al who love them.4People flock to their teeming idols. Never shal I pour libations to them! Never take their names on mylips.5My birthright, my cup is Yahweh; you, you alone, hold my lot secure.6The measuring-line marks out for me a delightful place, my birthright is al I could wish.7I bless Yahweh who is my counsel or, even at night my heart instructs me.8I keep Yahweh before me always, for with him at my right hand, nothing can shake me.9So my heart rejoices, my soul delights, my body too wil rest secure,10for you wil not abandon me to Sheol, you cannot al ow your faithful servant to see the abyss.11You wil teach me the path of life, unbounded joy in your presence, at your right hand delight for ever.
