Psalms 16

The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory

A #Ps. 56—60Michtam of David.

1Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

2O my soul, you have said to the Lord,

“You are my Lord,

#Job 35:7My goodness is nothing apart from You.”

3As for the saints who are on the earth,

“They are the excellent ones, in #Ps. 119:63whom is all my delight.”

4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;

Their drink offerings of #Ps. 106:37, 38blood I will not offer,

#(Ex. 23:13); Josh. 23:7Nor take up their names on my lips.

5O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;

You maintain my lot.

6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;

Yes, I have a good inheritance.

7I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;

My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

8#(Acts 2:25–28)I have set the Lord always before me;

Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;

My flesh also will rest in hope.

10#Ps. 49:15; 86:13; Acts 2:31, 32; Heb. 13:20For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,

Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

11You will show me the #Ps. 139:24; (Matt. 7:14)path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
