Psalms 16
16
The Lord Takes Care of His People
A miktam of David.
1Protect me, God,
because I trust in you.
2I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord.
Every good thing I have comes from you.”
3As for the godly people in the world,
they are the wonderful ones I enjoy.
4But those who turn to idols
will have much pain.
I will not offer blood to those idols
or even speak their names.
5No, the Lord is all I need.
He takes care of me.
6My share in life has been pleasant;
my part has been beautiful.
7I praise the Lord because he advises me.
Even at night, I feel his leading.
8I keep the Lord before me always.
Because he is close by my side,
I will not be hurt.
9So I rejoice and am glad.
Even my body has hope,
10because you will not leave me in the grave.
You will not let your holy one rot.
11You will teach me how to live a holy life.
Being with you will fill me with joy;
at your right hand I will find pleasure forever.
