Psalm 16 - Matthew's Bible 1537

¹ Michtam of Dauid. Preserue me (O God) for in the do I trust.

² I haue saide vnto the Lord: thou art my God, my goodes are nothing vnto the.

³ All my delytes is vpon the saynctes that are in the earth, and vpon suche lyke.

⁴ But they that runne after another, shall haue greate trouble. Their drinckoffringes of bloude will not I offre, neither make mencion of their name in my mouth.

⁵ The Lorde him selfe is my good and my porcion, thou mayntaynest myne enherytaunce.

⁶ The lot is fallen vnto me in a fayre ground, yea, I haue a goodly heritage.

⁷ I will thanke the Lorde for geuynge me warnynge: my reynes also haue chastened me in the night season.

⁸ Afore hand sawe I God alwayes before me, for he is on my righte hande, that I should not be moued.

⁹ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce, & my tunge was glad, my flesh also shal rest in hope.

¹⁰ For why? thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell, neither shalt thou suffre thy saincte to se corrupcion.

¹¹ Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe: thou shalte make me full of ioye wyth thy countenaunce. At thy ryght hande there is pleasure and ioye for euermore.
