Psalm 16
CSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleNew Living Translation
1Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.1Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.
2I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides you."2I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”
3As for the holy people who are in the land, they are the noble ones. All my delight is in them.3The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
4The sorrows of those who take another god for themselves will multiply; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, and I will not speak their names with my lips.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.
5LORD, you are my portion and my cup of blessing; you hold my future.5LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.
6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.6The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!
7I will bless the LORD who counsels me--even at night when my thoughts trouble me.7I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8I always let the LORD guide me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.8I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
9Therefore my heart is glad and my whole being rejoices; my body also rests securely.9No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.
10For you will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful one to see decay.10For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
11You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.11You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
