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,

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)
