Psalm 16
New International Version

Psalm 16

Amiktam^[a]of David.

¹Keep me safe,^(A)my God,
for in you I take refuge.^(B)

²I say to theLord, “You are my Lord;^(C)
    apart from you I have no good thing.”^(D)
³I say of the holy people^(E)who are in the land,^(F)
    “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
⁴Those who run after other gods^(G)will suffer^(H)more and more.
    I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
    or take up their names^(I)on my lips.

⁵Lord, you alone are my portion^(J)and my cup;^(K)
    you make my lot^(L)secure.
⁶The boundary lines^(M)have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    surely I have a delightful inheritance.^(N)
⁷I will praise theLord, who counsels me;^(O)
    even at night^(P)my heart instructs me.
⁸I keep my eyes always on theLord.
    With him at my right hand,^(Q)I will not be shaken.^(R)

⁹Therefore my heart is glad^(S)and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,^(T)
¹⁰because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,^(U)
    nor will you let your faithful^[b]one^(V)see decay.^(W)
¹¹You make known to me the path of life;^(X)
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,^(Y)
    with eternal pleasures^(Z)at your right hand.^(AA)
