Psalm 16

Michtám of Dauid.
1.PReſerue me, ô God: for in thee do I truſt.
2.O my ſoule, thou haſt ſaid vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3.But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
4.The ſorowes of them, that offer to another god, ſhal be multiplied: their offrings of blood wil I not offer, nether make mēcion of their names with my lippes.
5.The Lord is the porcion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou ſhalt mainteine my lot.
6.The lines are fallen vnto me in pleaſant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
7.I wil praiſe the Lord, who hathe giuen me counſel: my reines alſo teache me in the nights.
8.I haue ſet the Lord alwayes before me: for he is at my right hand: therefore I ſhal not ſlide.
9.Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my fleſh alſo doeth reſt in hope.
10.For thou wilt not leaue my ſoule in the graue: nether wilt thou ſuffer thine holie one to ſe corruption.
11.Thou wilt ſhewe me the path of life: in thy preſence is the fulnes of ioye: and at thy right hãd there are pleaſures for euermore.
