16:1 Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
16:2 I said to the LORD, You are my Lord apart from you I have no good thing.
16:3 As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. [Or As for the pagan priests who are in the land and the nobles in whom all delight, I said]
16:4 The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.
16:5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup you have made my lot secure.
16:6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places surely I have a delightful inheritance.
16:7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me even at night my heart instructs me.
16:8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices my body also will rest secure,
16:10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, [Hebrew: Sheol] nor will you let your Holy One [Or your faithful one] see decay.
16:11 You have made known [Or You will make known] to me the path of life you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.17 A PRAYER OF DAVID.
