Psalm 16

New King James Version

The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory

A ^(A)Michtam of David.

16 Preserve^[a] me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

²O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
^(B)My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
³As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in ^(C)whom is all my delight.”

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of ^(D)blood I will not offer,
^(E)Nor take up their names on my lips.

⁵O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You ^[b]maintain my lot.
⁶The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.

⁷I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My ^[c]heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
⁸^(F)I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will ^[d]rest in hope.
¹⁰^(G)For You will not leave my soul in ^[e]Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to ^[f]see corruption.
¹¹You will show me the ^(H)path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
