Psalm
16:7-11
The
Pleasures of God
Psa 16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given
me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Psa 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me:
because he is at my right hand, I
shall not be moved.
Psa 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in
hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psa 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in
thy presence is fulness of joy; at
thy right hand there are pleasures
for evermore.
