King James VersionPsalms16

Psalms

1 Pre­serve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my good­ness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the ex­cel­lent, in whom is all my de­light.
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 The LORD is the por­tion of mine in­her­i­tance and of my cup: thou main­tainest my lot.
6 The lines are fall­en unto me in pleas­ant places; yea, I have a good­ly her­itage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath giv­en me coun­sel: my reins also in­struct me in the night sea­sons.
8 I have set the LORD al­ways be­fore me: be­cause he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 There­fore my heart is glad, and my glo­ry re­joiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nei­ther wilt thou suf­fer thine Holy One to see cor­rup­tion.
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.
