Psalms 16 — Context

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.

Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.

For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
