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.

The Resurrection

28 ^(A)Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and ^(B)the other Mary went to see the tomb. ²And behold, there was a great earthquake, for ^(C)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. ³^(D)His appearance was like lightning, and ^(E)his clothing white as snow. ⁴And for fear of him the guards trembled and ^(F)became like dead men. ⁵But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶He is not here, for he has risen, ^(G)as he said. Come, see the place where he^[a] lay. ⁷Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, ^(H)he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” ⁸So they departed quickly from the tomb ^(I)with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹And behold, Jesus ^(J)met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and ^(K)took hold of his feet and ^(L)worshiped him. ¹⁰Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; ^(M)go and tell ^(N)my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
