Psalm 16:9-11
Amplified Bible
9
Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices;
My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,
10
For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.(A)
11
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.(B)
Psalm 16:9-11
English Standard Version
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my (A)whole being[a] rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to (B)Sheol,
(C)or let your (D)holy one see (E)corruption.[b]
11 You make known to me (F)the path of life;
in your presence there is (G)fullness of joy;
at your right hand are (H)pleasures forevermore.

The Message
9-10 I’m happy from the inside out,
and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed.
You canceled my ticket to hell—
that’s not my destination!
11 Now you’ve got my feet on the life path,
all radiant from the shining of your face.
Ever since you took my hand,
I’m on the right way.
