16
1 Guard me, God, for in you I take refuge.
2 My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
3 As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who hurry after another god will multiply.
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood or take their names upon my lips.
5 The LORD is my allotted portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me.
7 I will bless the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my inmost thoughts instruct me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol or let your faithful one see the pit.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forever.
