PSALM 16.

Michtam of David.

1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. ^{▼▼ Michtam: or, A golden Psalm} 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. ^{▼▼ hasten…: or, give gifts to another} 5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. ^{▼▼ of mine…: Heb. of my part} 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. ^{▼▼ rest…: Heb. dwell confidently} 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.
