Psalm 16:9

Confidence In The Lord

⁸
I have set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
⁹ 
Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices;
My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,
¹⁰
For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.
