Psalm 16
NKJV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionNET Bible
1A Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.1A prayer of David. Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you.
2O my soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”2I say to the LORD, "You are the Lord, my only source of well-being."
3As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”3As for God's chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much--
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.4their troubles multiply, they desire other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods, nor will I make vows in the name of their gods.
5O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.5LORD, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.6It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land.
7I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.7I will praise the LORD who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.
8I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.8I constantly trust in the LORD; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.9So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.
10For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.10You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit.
11You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.11You lead me in the path of life; I experience absolute joy in your presence; you always give me sheer delight.
