Psalms 16

¹ Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
² I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my only good.”
³ The gods of the earth are but nothing, cursed be those who delight in them.
⁴ Those who run after foreign gods only have their sorrows multiplied. Let me not shed blood for them, nor their names be heard on my lips.
⁵ O Lord, my inheritance and my cup, my chosen portion – hold secure my lot.
⁶ The best part has been allotted to me. Delightful indeed is my inheritance!
⁷ I bless the Lord who counsels me; even at night my inmost self instructs me.
⁸ I keep the Lord always before me; for with him at my right hand, I will never be shaken.
⁹ My heart, therefore, exults, my soul rejoices; my body too will rest assured.
¹⁰ For you will not abandon my soul to the grave, nor will you suffer your holy one to see decay in the land of the dead.
¹¹ You will show me the path of life, in your presence the fullness of joy, at your right hand happiness forever.
