Psalm 16:1-11
The Presence of the LORD

0 Michtam of David.

0:

1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

1:

2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;

2:

3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.

3:

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.

4:

5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

5:

6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

6:

7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

7:

8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

8:

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

9:

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

10:

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.

11:
