CHAPTER 16
Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I put my trust.
Thou hast said unto me that thou art the Lord, my God, and, My goodness is extended unto thee,
And to all the saints that dwell in the earth, and the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
And the wicked, there is no delight in them; their sorrows shall be multiplied upon all those who hasten for to seek another god; their drink offerings of blood will I not accept nor take up their names into my lips.
Therefore, thou, Lord, art the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup; thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
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.
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Thou wilt show me the path of life; in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
