Psalms16NASB2020
The LORD, the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Salvation in Death.
A Mikhtam of David.
1Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.2I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides You.”3As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the majestic ones; all my delight is in them.4The pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. 5The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup;You support my lot.6The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; Indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me. 7I will bless the LORD who has advised me;
Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.8I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.9Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; You will not allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.11You will make known to me the way of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
