I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;(A)
    even at night(B) my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    With him at my right hand,(C) I will not be shaken.(D)

Therefore my heart is glad(E) and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,(F)
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,(G)
    nor will you let your faithful[a] one(H) see decay.(I)
11 You make known to me the path of life;(J)
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,(K)
    with eternal pleasures(L) at your right hand.(M)

  1. Psalm 16:10 Or holy

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
