Psalms 16

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [In a quiet voice Of David] Protect me, O God, in you is my refuge.	1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 To Yahweh I say, 'You are my Lord, my happiness is in none	2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 of the sacred spirits of the earth.' They only take advantage of al who love them.	3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 People flock to their teeming idols. Never shal I pour libations to them! Never take their names on mylips.	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.
5 My birthright, my cup is Yahweh; you, you alone, hold my lot secure.	5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The measuring-line marks out for me a delightful place, my birthright is al I could wish.	6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I bless Yahweh who is my counsel or, even at night my heart instructs me.	7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I keep Yahweh before me always, for with him at my right hand, nothing can shake me.	8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 So my heart rejoices, my soul delights, my body too wil rest secure,	9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 for you wil not abandon me to Sheol, you cannot al ow your faithful servant to see the abyss.	10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 You wil teach me the path of life, unbounded joy in your presence, at your right hand delight for ever.	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.
