Psalm 16:8-11
New King James Version
8 (A)I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will [a]rest in hope.
10 (B)For You will not leave my soul in [b]Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to [c]see corruption.
11 You will show me the (C)path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

8 I always remember that the Lord is with me.[a]
He is here, close by my side,
so nothing can defeat me.

Even my body will live in safety,
10 because you will not leave me in the place of death.
You will not let your faithful one rot in the grave.
