Psalms:16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Preserve me ,
O God ,
for in You I put my trust .
*
O my soul ,
you have said to the LORD , "
You are my Lord ,
My goodness is nothing apart from You ".
*
As for the saints who are on the earth , "
They are the excellent ones ,
in whom is all my delight ".
*
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god ;
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer ,
Nor take up their names on my lips .
*
O LORD ,
You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup ;
You maintain my lot .
*
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places ;
Yes ,
I have a good inheritance .
*
I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel ;
My heart also instructs 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 rejoices ;
My flesh also will rest in hope .
*
For You will not leave my soul in Sheol ,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption .
*
You will show me the path of life ;
In Your presence is fullness of joy ;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore .
