Page 26 - Your Extravagant Kindness

Psalm 16

You are my safety, O Godde,
I can trust you.

I say to you, my Guardian, “You are my Protector;

you are the source of all that is good.”

The high and holy ones bear witness,

you delight in their integrity …

Those who seek other goddes suffer –
I will not pour out libations to idols;

their names have no place on my lips.

Holy One, you alone receive my portion, my lifted cup;

you alone make me secure.

You create a pleasant boundary around me,
you grant me a delightful inheritance.

I praise you, O Godde, as you counsel me;
at night you speak to my inmost being.

I will keep my eyes on you, my Guardian,
with you at my side I will not collapse …

My heart rejoices, my soul exults

and my body rests secure …
You will not abandon me to Sheol,
nor let your faithful one be broken to pieces.

You guide me along the path of life,
you fill me with the joy of your presence;
your right hand offers eternal delight.
