Happy New Year

The Lord, the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Salvation in Death.

A ^[a]Mikhtam of David.

16 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.
²^[b]I said to the Lord, “You are ^[c]my Lord;
I have nothing good besides You.”
³As for the ^[d]saints who are on the earth,
^[e]They are the majestic ones; all my delight is in them.
⁴^[f]The pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

⁵The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You support my lot.
⁶The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me.

⁷I will bless the Lord who has advised me;
Indeed, my ^[g]mind instructs me in the night.
⁸I have set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
⁹Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.
¹⁰For You will not abandon my soul to ^[h]Sheol;
You will not ^[i]allow Your ^[j]Holy One to ^[k]undergo decay.
¹¹You will make known to me the way of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
