Psalms 16:1-8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. Protect me, God,because I trust in you.

2. I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord.Every good thing I have comes from you.”

3. There are godly people in the world.I enjoy them.

4. But those who turn to idols will have much pain.I will not offer blood to those idols.I won’t even speak their names.

5. No, the Lord is all I need.He takes care of me.

6. My share in life has been pleasant.My part has been beautiful.

7. I praise the Lord because he guides me.Even at night, I feel his leading.

8. I keep the Lord before me always.Because he is close by my sideI will not be hurt.
