journey through Psalm 16
1 Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.
2 I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.
7 I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.
8 I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will dwell securely.
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.
11 You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
