Psalms 16:1-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.

2. I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You."

3. As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight.

4. The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

5. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot.

6. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

7. I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

8. I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.
