| # Chapter 16
#### 1 | Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.
#### 2 | O my soul, thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
#### 3 | As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
#### 4 | Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.
#### 5 | Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.
#### 6 | The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
#### 7 | I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.
#### 8 | I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
#### 9 | Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
#### 10 | For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
#### 11 | Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 17 A Prayer of David.
