RSV Psalms 16 Chapter
16:1
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge.
16:2
I say to the LORD, 'Thou art my Lord;I have no good apart from thee.'
16:3
As for the saints in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.
16:4
Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows;their libations of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips.
16:5
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;thou holdest my lot.
16:6
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;yea, I have a goodly heritage.
16:7
I bless the LORD who gives me counsel;in the night also my heart instructs me.
16:8
I keep the LORD always before me;because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;my body also dwells secure.
16:10
For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit.
16:11
Thou dost show me the path of life;in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
