Themes in Psalm 16

Man » Cannot profit God

For the holy ones who are in the land, And the honourable, all my delight is in them.

I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.

Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:

For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
