Psalm 16 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

The LORD the Psalmist's Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.

Psa 16:1A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

Psa 16:2Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou art;' My good is not for thine own sake;

Psa 16:3For the holy ones who are in the land, And the honourable, all my delight is in them.

Psa 16:4Multiplied are their griefs, Who have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.

Psa 16:5

Psa 16:5Jehovah is the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou -- Thou dost uphold my lot.

Psa 16:6

Psa 16:6Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance is for me.

Psa 16:7

Psa 16:7I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also in the nights my reins instruct me.

Psa 16:8

Psa 16:8I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.

Psa 16:9

Psa 16:9Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:

Psa 16:10

Psa 16:10For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

Psa 16:11

Psa 16:11Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
