In a quiet voice. Of David |
A Prayer of Confidence. Psalm 16(v15)
|
| 1 |
Protect me, O God, in you is my refuge. |
|
| 2 |
To Yahweh I say, 'You are my Lord,
my happiness is in none |
|
| 3 |
of the sacred spirits of the earth.' They only take advantage of all who love them.
|
|
| 4 |
People flock to their teeming idols.
Never shall I pour libations to them!
Never take their names on my lips. |
|
| 5 |
My birthright, my cup is Yahweh;
you, you alone, hold my lot secure.
|
|
| 6 |
The measuring-line marks out for me a delightful place,
my birthright is all I could wish. |
|
| 7 |
I bless Yahweh who is my counsellor,
even at night my heart instructs me.
|
|
| 8 |
I keep Yahweh before me always,
for with him at my right hand, nothing can shake me. |
|
| 9 |
So my heart rejoices, my soul delights,
my body too will rest secure,
|
|
| 10 |
for you will not abandon me to Sheol,
you cannot allow your faithful servant to see the abyss.
|
|
| 11 |
You will teach me the path of life,
unbounded joy in your presence,
at your right hand delight for ever. |
