“Preserve me, O God:
for in thee do I put my trust. O my soul,
thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my
Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all
my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that
hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not
offer, nor take up their names into my lips. The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou
maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will
bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the
night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in
hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine
Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence
is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16
(KJV)
