A psalm
Psalms 16Psalms 16:TITLE Hebrew miktam. This may be a literary or musical term.
of David.
1Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge.
2I said to the Lord, “You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you.”
3The godly people in the land
are my true heroes!
I take pleasure in them!
4Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.
I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood
or even speak the names of their gods.
5Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
6The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
What a wonderful inheritance!
7I will bless the Lord who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
9No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
Psalms 16:9 Greek version reads and my tongue shouts his praises. Compare Acts 2:26.
My body rests in safety.
10For you will not leave my soul among the dead

granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.
