Psalm 16

Song of Trust and Security in God

A Miktam of David.

Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.(A)
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
    I have no good apart from you.”[a]

As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble ones
    in whom is all my delight.(B)

Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows;[b]
    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
    or take their names upon my lips.(C)

The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
    you hold my lot.(D)
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    I have a goodly heritage.(E)
