[00:00:04] Psalm chapter 16, A Mictam of David, probably intended to record memorable thoughts. Keep and protect me, O God, for in you I have placed my trust and found refuge. I said to the Lord, You are my Lord. I have no good besides you.
[00:00:32] As for the saints, or godly people, who are in the land, they are the majestic and the noble and the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. The sorrows, pain, and suffering of those who have chosen another God will be multiplied because of their idolatry.
[00:00:56] I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor will I take their names upon my lips. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, my cup. He is all I need. You support my lot. The boundary lines of the land have fallen for me in pleasant places. Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.
[00:01:27] I will bless the Lord who has counseled me. Indeed, my heart, or mind, instructs me in the night. I have set the Lord continually before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory, my innermost self, rejoices.
[00:01:54] My body, too, will dwell confidently in safety. For you will not abandon me to Sheol, or the netherworld, the place of the dead. Nor will you allow your Holy One to undergo decay. You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand, there are pleasures forevermore.
