Psalm 16:1–4

A Miktam1 of David.

1  Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

2  mI say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

I have no good apart from you.”

3  As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,

in whom is all my delight.2

4  The sorrows of those who run after3 another god shall multiply;

their ndrink offerings of blood I will not pour out

or take their names on my lips.
