New Testament

Psalm 16:1-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. God, keep me safe. I go to you for safety.

2. I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord. Without you, I don't have anything that is good."

3. God's people who live in our land are glorious. I take great delight in them.

4. Those who run after other gods will have nothing but trouble. I will not pour out offerings of blood to those gods. My lips will not speak their names.

5. Lord, everything you have given me is good. You have made my life secure.

6. I am very pleased with what you have given me. I am very happy with what I've received from you.

7. I will praise the Lord. He gives me good advice. Even at night my heart teaches me.

8. I know that the Lord is always with me. He is at my right hand. I will always be secure.
