Read in context

Psalms 16:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”

3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
