Lord, you alone are my portion(A) and my cup;(B)
    you make my lot(C) secure.
The boundary lines(D) have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    surely I have a delightful inheritance.(E)
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;(F)
    even at night(G) my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    With him at my right hand,(H) I will not be shaken.(I)

Therefore my heart is glad(J) and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,(K)
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,(L)
    nor will you let your faithful[a] one(M) see decay.(N)
11 You make known to me the path of life;(O)
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,(P)
    with eternal pleasures(Q) at your right hand.(R)

  1. Psalm 16:10 Or holy

The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
