New International Version

Psalm 16:1-6 New International Version (NIV)

1. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

2. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”

3. I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”

4. Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.

5. Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.

6. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
