| 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. |
