Psalms 16:1-4

¹A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.

²My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”

³As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
