Psalms 16:2

[O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;

O my soul, thou hast said {H559} unto the LORD {H3068}, Thou art my Lord {H136}: my goodness {H2896} extendeth not to thee;

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

I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”

O my soul, thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
