Psalm 16

Psalm 16 (Amplified Bible)

Psalm 16

A Poem of David; [probably] intended to record memorable thoughts.

 ¹KEEP and protect me, O God, for in You I have found refuge, and in You do I put my trust and hide myself.     ²I say to the Lord, You are my Lord; I have no good beside or beyond You.
    ³As for the godly (the saints) who are in the land, they are the excellent, the noble, and the glorious, in whom is all my delight.
    ⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied who choose another god; their drink offerings of blood will I not offer or take their names upon my lips.
    ⁵The Lord is my chosen and assigned portion, my cup; You hold and maintain my lot.
    ⁶The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good heritage.
    ⁷I will bless the Lord, Who has given me counsel; yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
    ⁸I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
    ⁹Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my inner self] rejoices; my body too shall rest and confidently dwell in safety,
    ¹⁰For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the place of the dead), neither will You suffer Your holy one [Holy One] to see corruption.^{(A)
    11}You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.^(B)
