Psalm 16:1-6

Psalm 16:1-6

Preserve Me, Oh God!

Psa 16:1  Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 

Psa 16:2  O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; 

Psa 16:3  But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 

Psa 16:4  Their 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. 

Psa 16:5  The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 

Psa 16:6  The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
