Psalm 16:5-11

English Standard Version

⁵The Lord is ^(A)my chosen portion and my ^(B)cup;
you hold my ^(C)lot.
⁶^(D)The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷I bless the Lord who ^(E)gives me counsel;
in ^(F)the night also my ^(G)heart instructs me.^[a]
⁸^(H)I have ^(I)set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my ^(J)right hand, I shall not be ^(K)shaken.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my ^(L)whole being^[b] rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
¹⁰For you will not abandon my soul to ^(M)Sheol,
^(N)or let your ^(O)holy one see ^(P)corruption.^[c]

¹¹You make known to me ^(Q)the path of life;
in your presence there is ^(R)fullness of joy;
at your right hand are ^(S)pleasures forevermore.

English Standard Version

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, ^(A)a man attested to you by God ^(B)with ^(C)mighty works and wonders and signs that ^(D)God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— ²³this Jesus,^[a] ^(E)delivered up according to ^(F)the definite plan and ^(G)foreknowledge of God, ^(H)you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. ²⁴^(I)God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because ^(J)it was not possible for him to be held by it. ²⁵For David says concerning him,

^(K)“‘I saw the Lord always before me,
    for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
²⁶therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
    my flesh also will dwell ^(L)in hope.
²⁷For you will not abandon my soul to ^(M)Hades,
    ^(N)or let your ^(O)Holy One ^(P)see corruption.
²⁸You have made known to me the paths of life;
    you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
