Psalm 16

LOrd save me, for I trust in thee,
Sincerely from my heart;
I have acknowledg'd thee to bee
My Lord, and so thou art.
My goodness unto thee, I know,
Can never have extent;
But to the Saints that live below,
The truly excellent.
In whom my sole delight is plac't,
But questionles all those
That after other Gods make haste,
Shall multiply their woes.
The bloud of their drink-offering,
I'l not present the same:
Nor move my lips in mentioning
Of their detested name.
The Lord is mine inheritance,
And portion of my cup:
Of mine allotted maintenance
Thou art the holder up.
To me successfully the lines
In pleasant places fell:
The heritage which God assignes
To me, doth much excell.

2. Part.
I Bless the Lord, by whose good means
I was advis'd aright;
Yea, by his counsell have my reins
Instructed me by night.
I set, and still conceiv'd to stand
The Lord before my face:
Because he is at my right hand
Shall nothing me displace.
With joyes and consolations fresh,
This therefore fils my brest:
Glad is my glory, and my flesh
In certain hope shall rest.
My soul in hell thou wilt not leave,
Nor ever wilt permit
Thy Saints dead body to receive
corruption in the pit.
The path of life thou shew'st to mee,
And joyes abundant store
At thy right hand there are with thee,
And pleasures evermore.
