Psalms 16:1-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.

2. I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord;I have nothing good besides You.”

3. As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones.All my delight is in them.

4. The sorrows of those who take another godfor themselves will multiply;I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,and I will not speak their names with my lips.

5. Lord, You are my portion and my cup of blessing;You hold my future.
