Psalms 16:4-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. Those who chase after other gods,their sorrows will be multiplied;their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,nor lift their names on my lips.

5. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup;You support my lot.

6. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;yes, an inheritance is beautiful for me.

7. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;my affections also instruct me in the night seasons.

8. I have set the Lord always before me;because He is at my right hand,I will not be moved.

9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;my flesh also will rest in security.
