Psalms 16 — Context

O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

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.

The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.

Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.

I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.

I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
