Keep me safe, my God,
for in you I take
refuge.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I
have no good thing.”
I say of the holy people who are in the land,
“They are the
noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
I will not pour
out libations of blood to such gods
or take up their
names on my lips.
Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;
you make my lot
secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a
delightful inheritance.
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my
heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my
right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will
rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let
your faithful one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me
with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures
at your right hand. Psalm 16
