Ps 16

1 A writing of David. - Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you. 2 I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my Gr. good deeds, or things goodness. 3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them. 4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips. 5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he who restores my inheritance to me. 6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yea, I have a most excellent heritage. 7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even possibly, during the night, q. d. as long as night lasted till night. 8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 10 because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither Ac 13:35 will you suffer yours Holy One to see corruption. 11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand there are delights for ever.
