Psalms 16:1-7

Mikhtam. By David: Protect me, God, for you are my refuge.

I said to ADONAI, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good outside of you."

The holy people in the land are the ones who are worthy of honor; all my pleasure is in them.

Those who run after another god multiply their sorrows; To such gods I will not offer drink offerings of blood or take their names on my lips.

ADONAI, my assigned portion, my cup: you safeguard my share.

Pleasant places were measured out for me; I am content with my heritage.

I bless ADONAI, my counselor; at night my inmost being instructs me.
