Psalm 16 (selected verses)
1 Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to You for refuge.
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from You."
4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.
(dan note: people worship other things these days besides a diety - it can be most anything)
I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood
or even speak the names of their gods.
(dan note: iow, I worship anything nor give my heart & allegiance to anything but God)
5 LORD, You alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
What a wonderful inheritance!
7 I will bless the LORD who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I know the LORD is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.
9 No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
11 You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of Your presence
and the pleasures of living with You forever.
