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

PSALM 16
The Lord the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.
A #Possibly Epigrammatic Poem or Atonement PsalmMikhtam of David.
1Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.
2I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.”
3As for the saints who are in the earth,
They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight.
4The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You support my lot.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.
7I will bless the Lord who has counseled me;
Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.
8I have set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.
10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to #Or see corruption or the pitundergo decay.
11You will make known to me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
