Psalm 16

Psalm

To the music director. David.

Only foolish people themselves, “There is no

People who say those things do corrupt deeds;

they do detestable deeds;

hardly anyone does what is right.

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees humans;

he looks to see if there are any wise people,

with the result that they are wise enough that they desire to know him.

3 But they all do evil and corrupt things;

no one does what is right.

4 All the people who make a practice of doing wicked things do not take seriously the fact that Yahweh is going to punish them!

They act violently toward Yahweh’s people and want to consume them like they consume bread.

These evil people never pray to Yahweh.

5 But in the future, at the place God will judge wicked people, they will become very terrified

because God will help those who act righteously.

6 You evil people try to humiliate poor people,

but Yahweh will protect them.

7 I wish that Yahweh would come from where he dwells in Jerusalem and rescue us Israelite people!

When Yahweh blesses us, his people again,

then all of us Israelite people will rejoice.

A psalm of David

Yahweh, who is allowed to enter your sacred tent?

Who is allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Those whose behavior is faultless

and who do righteous things,

and who speak the truth.

3 They do not slander others.

They do not do to others things that are wrong,

and they do not say bad things about their friends.

4 They despise the people God abhors,

but they respect those who revere Yahweh.

They do what they have promised to do,

even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 They lend money to others without charging interest,

and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done anything wrong.

Those who do those things will always live in safety.

Psalm

A miktam of David

16 God, protect me,

because I go to you to keep me safe!

2 I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord;

all the good things that I have come from you.”

3 People who try to live holy lives, they are wonderful;

I greatly delight in them.

4 Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad.

I will not join them when they make sacrifices to their gods;

and I will not join them in speaking the names of their gods.

5 Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen and who supplies all my needs.

You control my destiny.

You protect me and control what happens to me.

6 Yahweh has greatly blessed me;

I am delighted with all the things that he has given me.

7 I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches me;

even during the night he puts in my mind the right things for me to do.

8 I have chosen to always think about Yahweh. Because he is the one who strengthens and supports me,

he will save me from anything that might trouble me.

9 Therefore I am very glad,

and I can rest securely,

10 because you, Yahweh, will save me from going to the place where dead people go,

yes, you will save me, a godly person, from dying.

11 You reveal to me how to live in a way that will make me joyful now and will result in receiving eternal life in the future.

You make me joyful when I am with you.

You give pleasures forever.
