FBV PSA Chapter 16

PSA 16 ©

A psalm (miktam) of David.

16Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.

2I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”

3As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.[fn]

4Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.

5Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.[fn]

6The land divisions have worked out in my favor[fn]—my property is wonderful!

7I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience[fn] tells me what is right.

8I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. 9That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!

10For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay.

11You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.



16:3 The meaning of this verse is unclear.

16:5 Literally, “You are my portion, my cup, and you maintain my lot.”

16:6 Referring to the way in which land was divided up, particularly when the Promised Land was first settled. What the psalmist is saying is that the dividing lines produced land that was good for him. Literally, “The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.”

16:7 Literally, “my kidneys.”
