Psalms 16:1-5

¹“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.

²I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!

³The holy that are in the land, and the excellent,—in them is all my delight.

⁴They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

⁵Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
