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.
