Literal Standard Version
Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.2 You have said to YHWH, "You [are] my Lord"; My goodness [is] not above You;3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, || And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, || Nor do I take up their names on my lips.5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, || You uphold my lot.6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, || Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, || Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.9 Therefore my heart has been glad, || And my glory rejoices, || Also my flesh dwells confidently:10 For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, || Nor give your Holy One to see corruption.11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, || Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
