“1 ¶ <<Michtam of David.>> 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.”
(Psalms 16:1-11 AV)
