Chapter 16
|
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. |
