Psalm 16:1-11
Preserve me, O GOD: I take refuge in you. O my soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my MASTER. Apart from you I have no goodness." As for the saints who are on the earth, they are honorable and my delight is in them. Sorrows will be multiplied for those who worship another god. I will not offer up their blood offerings; nor will I speak their names. The LORD is my inheritance, my cup. You made my lot secure. Boundaries have fallen for me in pleasant places; truly, my inheritance is beautiful. I will bless the LORD, who has counseled me. My conscience instructs me during the night. I have set the LORD before me continually, and since he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. My heart is glad, therefore, as all of me rejoices, and my body will rest in safety. Neither will you leave my soul in hell, nor will you allow your HOLY ONE to experience corruption. You will show me the way of life; abundant joy is in your presence. At your right hand there are pleasures forever.
