Psalms 16:4-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. let their suffering increase becausethey hurried after a different god.I won’t participate in their blood offerings;I won’t let their names cross my lips.

5. You, Lord, are my portion, my cup;you control my destiny.

6. The property lines have fallen beautifully for me;yes, I have a lovely home.

7. I will bless the Lord who advises me;even at night I am instructedin the depths of my mind.

8. I always put the Lord in front of me;I will not stumble because he is on my right side.

9. That’s why my heart celebrates and my mood is joyous;yes, my whole body will rest in safety

10. because you won’t abandon my life to the grave;you won’t let your faithful follower see the pit.

11. You teach me the way of life.In your presence is total celebration.Beautiful things are always in your right hand.
