Tehillim 16:4-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after other g-ds; their nesakhim (drink offerings) of dahm will I not offer, nor take up their shmot (names [of idols]) on my lips.

5. Hashem is the chelek (allotted share) of mine inheritance and of my kos (cup [of blessing]); Thou maintainest my goral (lot, allotment by the divine will).

6. The boundary lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly nachalah (inheritance).

7. I will bless Hashem, Who hath given me counsel; my mind also instructs me in the night seasons.

8. I have set Hashem always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

9. Therefore my lev is glad, and my kavod rejoiceth; my basar also shall dwell securely [see 1Th 5:23 OJBC].

10. For Thou wilt not abandon my nefesh in Sheol; neither wilt Thou allow Thine Chasid to see shachat (corruption, the pit, the grave, the abyss of corruption; see Ac 2:24).

11. Thou wilt show me the Orach Chayyim (the path of life); in Thy presence is fulness of joy, at Thy right hand there are pleasures netzach (for evermore).
