NET Bible
"their troubles multiply; they desire other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods, nor will I make vows in the name of their gods."
— Psalms 16:4, NET Bible
“Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.”
“Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips. ”
“Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.”
“That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.”
“Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.”
“Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.”
A prayer of David. Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you.
I say to the LORD,“You are the Lord, my only source of well-being.”
As for God’s chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much–
their troubles multiply; they desire other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods, nor will I make vows in the name of their gods.
LORD, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure.
It is as if I have been given fertile fields or received a beautiful tract of land.
I will praise the LORD who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.
