Psalm 16

² I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord.
    Without you, I don’t have anything that is good.”
³ I say about God’s people who live in our land, “They are the noble ones.
    I take great delight in them.”
⁴ Those who run after other gods
    will suffer more and more.
I will not pour out offerings of blood to those gods.
    My lips will not speak their names.

⁵ Lord, you alone are everything I need.
    You make my life secure.
⁶ I am very pleased with what you have given me.
    I am very happy with what I’ve received from you.

⁷ I will praise the Lord. He gives me good advice.
    Even at night my heart teaches me.
⁸ I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    He is at my right hand.
    So I will always be secure.

⁹ So my heart is glad. Joy is on my tongue.
    My body also will be secure.
¹⁰ You will not leave me in the place of the dead.
    You will not let your faithful one rot away.
¹¹ You always show me the path of life.
    You will fill me with joy when I am with you.
    You will make me happy forever at your right hand.
