PSALM 16
Conserva me, Domine.

Preserve | me, O God;

* for in thee | have I put my trust.

2 O my soul, thou hast said | unto• the LORD,

* Thou art my God; I have no | good like unto thee.

3 All my delight is upon the saints that are | in the earth,

* and upon | such as• excel in virtue.

4 But they that run after an- | -other god

* shall | have great trouble.

5 Their drink-offerings of blood will | I not offer,

* neither make mention of their | names within my lips.

6 The LORD himself is the portion of mine inheritance, and | of my cup;

* thou | shalt maintain my lot.

7 The lot is fallen unto me in a | fair ground;

* yea, I | have a goodly heritage.

8 I will thank the LORD for | giving• me warning;

* my reins also chasten me | in the night season.

9 I have set the LORD | alway• before me;

* for he is on my right hand, | therefore• I shall not fall.

10 Wherefore my heart is glad, and my | glory• rejoiceth:

* my flesh | also• shall rest in hope.

11 For why? thou shalt not leave my | soul in hell;

* neither shalt thou suffer thy Holy | One to see corruption.

12 Thou shalt show me the path of life: in thy presence is the | fulness• of joy,

* and at thy right hand there is | pleasure• for evermore.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
