Psalms 16

¹ You Will Not Abandon My Soul ¹ Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
² I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you."
³ As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.^[a]
⁴ The sorrows of those who run after^[b] another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.
⁵ The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
⁶ The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
⁷ I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.^[c]
⁸ I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being^[d] rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
¹⁰ For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.^[e]
¹¹ You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
