New Living Translation

Psalms 16:1-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. Keep me safe, O God,for I have come to you for refuge.

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

3. The godly people in the landare my true heroes!I take pleasure in them!

4. Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.I will not take part in their sacrifices of bloodor even speak the names of their gods.

5. lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.You guard all that is mine.

6. The land you have given me is a pleasant land.What a wonderful inheritance!

7. I will bless the lord who guides me;even at night my heart instructs me.
