n°19 / Psalms 16 :

1Preserve me, O God : for in thee do I put my trust.
2O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord : my goodness extendeth not to thee ;
3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god : their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup : thou maintainest my lot.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel : my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8I have set the LORD always before me : because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell ; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11Thou wilt shew me the path of life : in thy presence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
