Psalmes 16

P S A L. XVI.

1 Dauid in distrust of merites, and hatred of Idolatry, flyeth to God for preseruation. 5 He sheweth the hope of his calling, of the resurrection, and life euerlasting.

¶ Michtam of Dauid.

XVI ¶ Preserue me, O God: for in thee doe I put my trust. 2 [ref]O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the LORD, Thou art my LORD: my goodnes extendeth not to thee: 3 But to the Saints, that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 4 [fn]Their sorrowes shalbe multiplied, that hasten after another God: their drinke offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take vp their names into my lippes. 5 [ref][fn]The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 6 The lines are fallen vnto mee in pleasant places; yea, I haue a goodly heritage. 7 I will blesse the LORD, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 [ref]I haue set the LORD alwaies before me: because hee is at my right hand, I shall not be moued. 9 [fn]Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory reioyceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10 [ref]For thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. 11 Thou wilt shewe me the path of life: in thy presence is fulnesse of ioy, at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
