“When in distress, linger in God’s presence.” Psalm 16
11
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
16
Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2
I 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.
4
The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.
5
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8
I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.
11
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Glory be to the Father and I to the Son*
and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be- I ginning,
is now, and will be forever. I Amen.
11
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
