# Psalm 16 [[Ps-15|← Psalm 15]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-17|Psalm 17 →]] *** ###### v1 Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you. ###### v2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing." ###### v3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight. ###### v4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips. ###### v5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure. ###### v6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. ###### v7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. ###### v8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. ###### v9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. ###### v10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. ###### v11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more. *** [[Ps-15|← Psalm 15]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-17|Psalm 17 →]]
