Psalm 16

In your presence, O Lord, there is fullness of joy Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord; you are my Lord; I have no good apart from you. R

As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight. R

Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips. R

The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage. R

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand. I shall not be moved. R

Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure. For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit. R

You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures for evermore. R
