Psalms 16:2-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

2. Oh my soul you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. I have no good apart from you.”

3. With regard to the saints who are in the land, they are the noble ones in whom is all my desire.

4. Those who hurry after another god increase their sorrows. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names on my lips.

5. Yahweh is the portion which is my share and my cup. You hold my lot.

6. The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Yes, my inheritance is delightful for me.

7. I will bless Yahweh who advises me; yes, at night my innermost being instructs me.

8. I have set Yahweh before me always. Because he is at my right hand I will not be shaken.

9. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. Yes, my body will dwell in safety,
