Psalm 16:7-11

New Living Translation

⁷I will bless the Lord who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
⁸I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

⁹No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.^[a]
    My body rests in safety.
¹⁰For you will not leave my soul among the dead^[b]
    or allow your holy one^[c] to rot in the grave.
¹¹You will show me the way of life,
    granting me the joy of your presence
    and the pleasures of living with you forever.^[d]
