The Psalms 16
A Goodly Heritage |
|
1 |
Preserve me, O God:
|
for in thee do I put my trust. |
|
|
2 |
O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord:
|
my goodness extendeth not to thee; |
|
|
3 |
but to the saints that are in the earth,
|
and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. |
|
|
4 |
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god:
|
their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, |
nor take up their names into my lips. |
|
|
5 |
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
|
6 |
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;
|
yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
|
|
7 |
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel:
|
my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. |
|
|
8 |
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 rejoiceth:
|
my flesh also shall rest in hope. |
|
|
10 |
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; 1 Cor. 15.4
|
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Acts 13.35 |
|
|
11 |
Thou wilt show me the path of life:
|
in thy presence is fulness of joy; Acts 2.25-28 |
at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. |
