Psalm 16
NLT Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationEnglish Standard Version
1Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.1Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”2I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”
3The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!3As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
4Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.4The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.
5LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
6The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
8I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.8I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.9Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
10For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.10For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
11You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.11You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
