Psalm 16:5-7
New Catholic Bible

5 O Lord, you are my allotted portion and my cup;[a]
    you have made my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have established a pleasant site for me;
    I have truly received a wonderful inheritance.
7 I bless the Lord who offers me counsel;
    even during the night my heart instructs me.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 16:5 Cup: a metaphor referring to what the host offers his guests to drink. To the righteous the Lord offers a cup of blessings (see Ps 23:5) or salvation (see Ps 116:13), but he makes the wicked drink from a cup of wrath (see Jer 25:15; Rev 14:10; 16:19).
