Psalm 16:1, 5-11 – a prayer of David

 

Keep me out of harm's way, O God,

for I’ve come to You for safe haven.

 

You alone are my legacy,

my cup of blessing.

You guard all that is mine.

 

What a pleasant place You have given me!

What a wonderful inheritance!

 

God bless You, Lord, for guiding me.

Even at night, You instruct my heart.

 

I know You are always with me.

With You right here, I will not be shaken!

 

No wonder my glad heart rejoices,

for I rest in safety, knowing

You will not abandon my soul to death,

nor let Your Holy One decay in a grave.

 

You will show me The Way of Life in You,

granting me joy in Your presence

and the pleasure of living with You

forever.

Into a prayer shelter

Hear my cry, O LORD.
Listen to my prayer.

To You, my heavy heart calls
from a low place far away.

Set me on the Rock
that is higher than I
as I fly to my shelter in You.
