The Book of Psalms 16

Text size

1 Preserve me O God for in thee do I put my trust ⚑

2 O my soul thou hast said unto the LORD Thou art my Lord my goodness extendeth not to thee ⚑

3 But to the saints that are in the earth and to the excellent in whom is all my delight ⚑

4 Their 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 ⚑

5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup thou maintainest my lot ⚑

6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places yea I have a goodly heritage ⚑

7 I will bless the LORD who hath given me counsel my reins also instruct me in the night seasons ⚑

8 I have set the LORD always before me because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved ⚑

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoiceth my flesh also shall rest in hope ⚑

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption ⚑

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life in thy presence is fulness of joy at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore ⚑
