Psalms 16:1-8

1. 1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

2. 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

3. 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4. 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.

5. 5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

6. 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7. 7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

8. 8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
