Psalms 16
1 (15-1) <The inscription of a title to David himself.> Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.2 (15-2) I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.3 (15-3) To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.4 (15-4) Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.5 (15-5) The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.6 (15-6) The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.7 (15-7) I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 (15-8) I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.9 (15-9) Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope.10 (15-10) Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.11 You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
