Psalm 16
I said to the LORD, “Thou art my Lord;
I have no good besides Thee.” (see John 6:68)
I have no good besides Thee.” (see John 6:68)
The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their [idols’] libations of blood,
Nor shall I take their names upon my lips.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
Thou dost support my lot.
My flesh also will dwell securely.
In Thy presence is fullness of joy;
In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.
Thou dost support my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is
I have set the LORD continually before me;
Because He is at my right hand,
Therefore my heart is
glad and my glory rejoices;My flesh also will dwell securely.
For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to Sheol;
Neither wilt Thou allow Thy Holy One to undergo decay.
Thou
wilt make known to me the path of life;In Thy presence is fullness of joy;
In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.
