| Chapter 16 |
1 |
Michtam. Of David.
Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
|
2 |
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
|
3 |
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
|
4 |
Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
|
5 |
The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
|
6 |
Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
|
7 |
I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
|
8 |
I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
|
9 |
Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
|
10 |
For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.
|
11 |
You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
