Psalms 16
You Will Not Forsake My Soul
1 (C1)Keep me, O God, for (C2)I take refuge in You.
2 O my soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are (F1)my Lord;
I (C1)have no good without You."
3 As for the (F1)(C1)saints who are in the earth,
They are the majestic ones (C2)in whom is all my delight.
4 The (F1)(C1)pains of those who have (F2)bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of (C2)blood,
Nor will I (C3)take their names upon my lips.
5 Yahweh is the (C1)portion of my inheritance and my (C2)cup;
You support my (C3)lot.
6 The (C1)lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my inheritance is (C2)beautiful to me.
7 I will bless Yahweh who has (C1)counseled me;
Indeed, my (F1)(C2)mind instructs me in the night.
8 (C1)I have (C2)set Yahweh continually before me;
Because He is (C3)at my right hand, (C4)I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore (C1)my heart is glad and (C2)my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will (C3)dwell securely.
10 For You (C1)will not forsake my soul to Sheol;
You will not (C2)give Your (F1)Holy One over to see (F2)corruption.
11 You will make known to me (C1)the path of life;
In (C2)Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are (C3)pleasures forever.
