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
Mikhtam [meaning disputed] of David [Beloved].
1Preserve me, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for in youi do I put my trust.
2 [O my soul], youi have said unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], youi [are] my Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things]: my goodness [extends] not to youi;
3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5The Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: youi maintain my lot.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I will bless the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], who has given me counsel: my reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion) also instruct me in the night seasons.
8I have set the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] always before me: because [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 in hope.
10For youi will not leave my soul in hell; neither will youi suffer youri Holy One to see corruption.
11youi will show me the path of life: in youri presence [is] fullness of joy; at youri right hand [there are] pleasures forevermore.
