Psalm 16:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
16 1 David prayeth to God for succor not for his works, but for his faith’s sake. 4 Protesting that he hateth all idolatry, taking God only for his comfort and felicity. 8 Who suffereth his to lack nothing.
[a]Michtam of David.
1 Preserve me, O GOD: for in thee do I [b]trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my [c]well doing extendeth not to thee,
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delight is in them.
