Psalm 16 (continued)

The sorrows of those will increase
who run after other gods.
(i will find my purpose only in you, you are the one true God)

I will not pour out their libations of
blood
or take up their names on my
lips.
(NIV: [i will not] Appeal to or worship them. Your view of me is the only one that matters and i am to be different as a believer.)


LORD, you have assigned me my
portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
(you have determined my destiny and nothing and noone can take it away from me)

The boundary lines have fallen for
me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful
inheritance.
(i know the starlike dance of a destiny you have chosen for me is in my best interest, for "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him" and that you watch over even the sparrows.)
