Psalm 16 (beginning)

Keep me safe, O God,
for in you I take refuge.
(Lord, protect me from myself, my temptations and sin)

I said to the Lord, “You are my
Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”
(You are MY Lord, other than you and what you give I have no good thing, you are the unmistakable first in my life and all good things of mine are from you.)

As for the saints who are in the
land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
(Your disciples, sons and daughters; my teachers, brothers and sisters are my delight)
