Psalm 16

English Standard Version

You Will Not Abandon My Soul

A ^(A)Miktam^[a] of David.

16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I ^(B)take refuge.
²I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
^(C)I have no good apart from you.”

³As for ^(D)the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.^[b]

⁴The sorrows of those who run after^[c] another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or ^(E)take their names on my lips.

⁵The Lord is ^(F)my chosen portion and my ^(G)cup;
you hold my ^(H)lot.
⁶^(I)The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷I bless the Lord who ^(J)gives me counsel;
in ^(K)the night also my ^(L)heart instructs me.^[d]
⁸^(M)I have ^(N)set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my ^(O)right hand, I shall not be ^(P)shaken.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my ^(Q)whole being^[e] rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
¹⁰For you will not abandon my soul to ^(R)Sheol,
^(S)or let your ^(T)holy one see ^(U)corruption.^[f]

¹¹You make known to me ^(V)the path of life;
in your presence there is ^(W)fullness of joy;
at your right hand are ^(X)pleasures forevermore.

Spiritual Blessings in Christ

³^(A)Blessed be ^(B)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing ^(C)in the heavenly places, ⁴^(D)even as he ^(E)chose us in him ^(F)before the foundation of the world, that we should be ^(G)holy and blameless before him.

¹¹In him we have obtained ^(W)an inheritance, ^(X)having been predestined ^(Y)according to the purpose of him who works all things according to ^(Z)the counsel of his will, ¹²so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be ^(AA)to the praise of his glory. ¹³In him you also, when you heard ^(AB)the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, ^(AC)were sealed with the ^(AD)promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴who is ^(AE)the guarantee^[d] of our ^(AF)inheritance until ^(AG)we acquire ^(AH)possession of it,^[e] ^(AI)to the praise of his glory.
