Psalm 16

Psalm 16

New International Version (NIV)

1 ) Keep me safe, my God,
for in you I take refuge.

2) I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 ) I say of the holy people who are in the land,
“They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
4 ) Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
or take up their names on my lips.

5 ) LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup;
you make my lot secure.
6 ) The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 ) I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 ) I keep my eyes always on the LORD.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful[b] one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
