King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 16

Psa 16:1	¶	[[Michtam of David.]] Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Psa 16:2		[O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
Psa 16:3		[But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
Psa 16:4		Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Psa 16:5		The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Psa 16:6		The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Psa 16:7		I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Psa 16:8		I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Psa 16:9		Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Psa 16:10		For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psa 16:11		Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.
