Miktam of David
16
📚✭✭Preserve me, O God,for in you I put my trust.
2 📚✭O my soul, you have
said to the LORD,
“You are my Lord;
my goodness without you
is nothing”.
3 📚✭But as for the saints
who are in the earth,
they are the excellent
ones in whom is
all my delight.
4 📚✭The sorrows of those
who run after another
god will be multiplied.
Their drink offerings of blood
I will not offer,
or take up their names
on my lips.
5 📚✭The LORD is the portion
of my inheritance
and of my cup.
You maintain my lot.
6 📚The boundary lines have
fallen to me in
pleasant places.
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 📚✭I will praise the LORD,
who has given me
counsel.
My inner being also
instructs me
in the night seasons.
8 📚✭I have set the LORD
always 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 rest
in hope✭.
10 📚For you will not leave
my soul in the
realm of the dead✭;
nor will you let your Holy
One see corruption.
11 📚✭You will show me
the path of life.
In your presence is fulness
of joy.
At your right hand there are
pleasures forevermore.
