16
1 Keep me, O God, for in thee have I found refuge.
2 I have said to the Lord,
‘Thou, Lord, art my felicity.’
3 The gods whom earth holds sacred are all worthless,
-- --
Book 1
and cursed are all who make them their delight; note
4 those who run after them note find trouble without end.
I will not offer them libations of blood
nor take their names upon my lips.
5 Thou, Lord, my allotted portion, thou my cup,
thou dost enlarge my boundaries:
6 the lines fall for me in pleasant places,
indeed I am well content with my inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel:
in the night-time wisdom comes to me in my inward parts.
8 I have set the Lord continually before me:
with him note at my right hand I cannot be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart exults
and my spirit rejoices,
my body too rests unafraid;
10 for thou wilt not abandon me to Sheol
nor suffer thy faithful servant to see the pit.
11 Thou wilt show me the path of life;
in thy presence is the fullness of joy,
in thy right hand pleasures for evermore.
