Psalms 16

New Jerusalem Bible	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ [In a quiet voice Of David] Protect me, O God, in you is my refuge.	¹ A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge.
² To Yahweh I say, 'You are my Lord, my happiness is in none	² I say to the LORD, "Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee."
³ of the sacred spirits of the earth.' They only take advantage of al who love them.	³ As for the saints in the land, they are the noble, 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 Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows; their libations of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips.
⁵ My birthright, my cup is Yahweh; you, you alone, hold my lot secure.	⁵ The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot.
⁶ The measuring-line marks out for me a delightful place, my birthright is al I could wish.	⁶ The lines have fallen for 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 bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
⁸ I keep Yahweh before me always, for with him at my right hand, nothing can shake me.	⁸ I keep 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 soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure.
¹⁰ for you wil not abandon me to Sheol, you cannot al ow your faithful servant to see the abyss.	¹⁰ For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit.
¹¹ You wil teach me the path of life, unbounded joy in your presence, at your right hand delight for ever.	¹¹ Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
