Chapter 16

Psalms 16

Michtam of David.

1

Preserue me, O God: for in thee doe I put my trust.

2

O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodnes extendeth not to thee:

3

But to the Saints, that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4

Their sorrowes shalbe multiplied, that hasten after another God: their drinke offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take vp their names into my lippes.

5

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

6

The lines are fallen vnto mee in pleasant places; yea, I haue a goodly heritage.

7

I will blesse the LORD, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also instruct me in the night seasons.

8

I haue set the LORD alwaies before me: because hee is at my right hand, I shall not be moued.

9

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory reioyceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10

For thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.

11

Thou wilt shewe me the path of life: in thy presence is fulnesse of ioy, at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.

End of ps chapter 16.
