Psalms 16:4

Read in context

Psalms 16:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
