Psalms 16:1-11

Psalms 16:1-11 CEB

Protect me, God, because I take refuge in you. I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you, I have nothing good.” Now as for the “holy ones” in the land, the “magnificent ones” that I was so happy about; let their suffering increase because they hurried after a different god. I won’t participate in their blood offerings; I won’t let their names cross my lips. You, LORD, are my portion, my cup; you control my destiny. The property lines have fallen beautifully for me; yes, I have a lovely home. I will bless the LORD who advises me; even at night I am instructed in the depths of my mind. I always put the LORD in front of me; I will not stumble because he is on my right side. That’s why my heart celebrates and my mood is joyous; yes, my whole body will rest in safety because you won’t abandon my life to the grave; you won’t let your faithful follower see the pit. You teach me the way of life. In your presence is total celebration. Beautiful things are always in your right hand.
