PSALM 16
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
Michtam of David.
1Lord, keep me; for I trust in thee.
2To God thus was my speech,
Thou art my Lord; and unto thee
my goodness doth not reach:
3To saints on earth, to th' excellent,
where my delight's all plac'd.
4Their sorrows shall be multiply'd
to other gods that haste:
Of their drink-offerings of blood
I will no off 'ring make;
Yea, neither I their very names
up in my lips will take.
5God is of mine inheritance
and cup the portion;
The lot that fallen is to me
thou dost maintain alone.
6Unto me happily the lines
in pleasant places fell;
Yea, the inheritance I got
in beauty doth excel.
7I bless the Lord, because he doth
by counsel me conduct;
And in the seasons of the night
my reins do me instruct.
8Before me still the Lord I set:
sith it is so that he
Doth ever stand at my right hand,
I shall not moved be.
9Because of this my heart is glad,
and joy shall be exprest
Ev'n by my glory; and my flesh
in confidence shall rest.
10Because my soul in grave to dwell
shall not be left by thee;
Nor wilt thou give thine Holy One
corruption to see.
11Thou wilt me shew the path of life:
of joys there is full store
Before thy face; at thy right hand
are pleasures evermore.

Psalms 16
16
Psalm 16
Michtam of David.
1¶ Preserve me, O God: for in thee I have put my trust.
2I said unto the Lord, Thou art my goodness: I have no goodness apart from thee;
3to the saints that are in the earth and to the excellent: all my delight is towards them.
4The sorrows of those that hasten after another god shall be multiplied; their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; thou dost maintain my lot.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7I will bless the Lord, who gives me counsel: my kidneys also instruct me in the night seasons.
8¶ I have set the Lord always before me: because when he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest secure.
10For thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol; neither wilt thou suffer thy Merciful One to see corruption.
11Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
