Psalm 16
A Goodly
Heritage |
|
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:
|
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; 1
Cor. 15.4
|
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption. Acts
13.35
|
|
|
11 |
Thou wilt show me the path of life:
|
in thy presence is fulness of joy; Acts
2.25-28 |
at thy right hand there are pleasures for
evermore. |
