Psalms 16
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
A Miktam (note: Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalm 16 and Psalms 56–60.) of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another (note: Or, give gifts to another) god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
The Lord is the portion of mine (note: Heb. of my part) inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me (note: Or my heart instructs me; Hebrew my kidneys instruct me).
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I have set (note: LXX I foresaw) the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope (note: Heb. dwell confidently).
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely (note: LXX will dwell in hope).
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay (note: Cited in Acts 13:35).
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
