Psalm 16:4-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;their drink offerings of blood I will not pour outor take their names on my lips.

5. The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;you hold my lot.

6. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

7. I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;in the night also my heart instructs me.

8. I have set the Lord always before me;because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;my flesh also dwells secure.
