“Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.
I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.”
The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.
I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.
Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!
I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
Psalm 16 NLT
O God, I come to you today for Your safety. Be my refuge. Every good thing I have comes from You, I chase after You only. I want nothing of this world. You alone, Lord, are my cup of blessing and all that I need.
Thank You for guarding all that is mine and giving me many pleasures on this earth to enjoy. What a wonderful inheritance! To experience heaven on earth! I will bless You, Jesus. You are my guide, the Instructor of my heart, and You are always with me. I will not be shaken, for You are right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad and full of joy!
I can rest my body in the safety of Your presence. For you will not leave my soul among the dead. You will show me the way of life. You will continue to grant me the joy of Your presence forever. What a pleasure it is to be with You! You are my joy, O Lord. I rest in You today. Amen.
