Psalm 16:1-Psalm 17:1 - Confidence In The Lord

1 A Secret Treasure of David. Watch over me, O God; for in You do I put my trust. 2 Oh my soul, you have said to Jehovah, You are my Lord; I have no goodness apart from You. 3 As to the saints in the earth, they are the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood; and I will not take their names on my lips.

5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup; You shall uphold my lot. 6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance.

7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me wisdom; my heart also instructs me in the nights. 8 I have set Jehovah always before Me; because He is at My right hand, I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore My heart is glad, and My glory rejoices; My flesh also shall rest in hope; 10 For You will not leave My soul in hell; You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption. 11 You will make Me know the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joys. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O Jehovah; listen to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, for it is not in lips of deceit.
