| Chapter 16 |
1 |
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge. -
|
2 |
[O my soul], thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee. -
|
3 |
As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight. -
|
4 |
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another [god]: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips. -
|
5 |
Jehovah 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 Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons. -
|
8 |
I have set Jehovah 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 dwell in safety. -
|
10 |
For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. -
|
11 |
Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. -
