Psalm 16 - American Standard Version 2015

¹ {\b Michtam of David.}\par\par\tab Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

² {\i O my soul}, thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord:\par\tab I have no good beyond thee.

³ As for the saints that are in the earth,\par\tab They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

⁴ Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another {\i god}:\par\tab Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,\par\tab Nor take their names upon my lips.

⁵ Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:\par\tab Thou maintainest my lot.

⁶ The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;\par\tab Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

⁷ I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel;\par\tab Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.

⁸ I have set Jehovah always before me:\par\tab Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth;\par\tab My flesh also shall dwell in safety.

¹⁰ For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol;\par\tab Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

¹¹ Thou wilt show me the path of life:\par\tab In thy presence is fulness of joy;\par\tab In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.\par
