Read Psalms 16 (KJV)
1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.2O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.4Their 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.5The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.7I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.8I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
