KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 16
David flees to Jehovah for preservation. He shows the hope of his calling. A Secret Treasure of David.
1Watch over me, O God, for I take refuge in You.
2Oh my soul you have said to Jehovah, You are my Lord; My goodness is not apart from You.
3As for the holy ones in the earth, they are the great ones; all my delight is in them.
4Their sorrows shall multiply if they run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offering of blood; and I will not take their names on my lips.
5Jehovah is the portion of My lot and of my cup; You shall uphold My lot.
6The lines have fallen to Me in pleasant places; yea, a beautiful inheritance is to Me.
7I will bless Jehovah, who counseled Me. My reins also teach Me in the nights.
8I have set Jehovah always before Me; for He is at My right hand: I shall not be shaken.
9So My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh shall also rest in hope;
10For You will not leave My soul in Sheol; You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption.
11You will make Me know the way of life. In Your presence is fullness of joys; at Your right hand are pleasures forever.
