Psalm 16
|
|
| 16:1
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. |
|
| 16:2
O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness
extendeth not to thee; |
|
| 16:3
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is
all my delight. |
|
| 16:4
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their
drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my
lips. |
|
| 16:5
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou
maintainest my lot. |
|
| 16:6
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly
heritage. |
|
| 16:7
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct
me in the night seasons. |
 (16:7)
"My reins also instruct me in the night seasons."
The Psalmist's kidneys (reins) instruct him at night.
|
| 16:8
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I
shall not be moved.
|
| 16:9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall
rest in hope. |
|
| 16:10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine
Holy One to see corruption. |
 (16:10) "Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption."
Is only God holy?
(16:11)
"At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
|
| 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at
thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
