Psalm 16 - Modern King James Version

¹ A Secret Treasure of David. Watch over me, O God; for in You do I put my trust.

² Oh my soul, you have said to Jehovah, You are my Lord; I have no goodness apart from You.

³ As to the saints in the earth, they are the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

⁴ Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood; and I will not take their names on my lips.

⁵ Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup; You shall uphold my lot.

⁶ The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷ I will bless Jehovah, who has given me wisdom; my heart also instructs me in the nights.

⁸ I have set Jehovah always before Me; because He is at My right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁹ Therefore My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh also shall rest in hope;

¹⁰ For You will not leave My soul in hell; You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

¹¹ You will make Me know the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joys. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
