Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge. |

My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.” |
| 16.3 |
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight. |

| 16.5 |
Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure. |
| 16.6 |
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. |

I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
| 16.9 |
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. |
| 16.10 |
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. |
| 16.11 |
You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more. |
