Psalms 16 (NLT)

Psalms Chapter 16 (NLT)

Compare with Version:

¹ A psalm[23] of David. Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.

² I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”

³ The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!

⁴ Troubles 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.

⁵ LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.

⁶ The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!

⁷ I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.

⁸ I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

⁹ No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.[24] My body rests in safety.

¹⁰ For you will not leave my soul among the dead[25] or allow your holy one[26] to rot in the grave.

¹¹ You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.[27]
