Psalms 16 (KJV)

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

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

But to the saints that are in the earth, And to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

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.

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

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

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

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

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

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
