Chapter 16  
     
1.
Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
 
2.
O my soul, you have said unto the Lord, You art my Lord: my goodness 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 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.
 
5.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you maintainest my lot.
 
6.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
 
7.
I will bless the Lord, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
 
8.
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
 
9.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
 
10.
For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
 
11.
Thou will shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
