Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

16:3
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

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.

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
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.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
