Psalms 16:3-4 in English

³ As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

⁴ Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.

⁴ As for the works of men, by the words of thy lips I have guarded myself from hard ways.

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