16 Protect me, O Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}, for I have taken refuge in you.
2 I have said to Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}: “You are Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, my Source of goodness.
3 And the holy ones in the earth,
The majestic ones, bring me great delight.”
4 Those who pursue other gods multiply their sorrows.
I will never pour out their drink offerings of blood,
Nor will my lips mention their names.
5 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is my portion, my allotted share, and my cup.
You safeguard my inheritance.
6 Pleasant places have been measured out to me.
Yes, I am content with my inheritance.
7 I will praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, who has given me advice.
Even during the night, my innermost thoughts correct me.
8 I keep Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} before me constantly.
Because he is at my right hand, I will never be shaken.
9 So my heart rejoices, my whole being is joyful.
10 For you will not leave me in the Grave.
You will not allow your loyal one to see the pit.
11 You make known to me the path of life.
In your presence is abundant joy;
There is happiness at your right hand forever.
