Psalm 16:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 and I have said,
    “Only you are my Lord!
Every good thing I have
    is a gift from you.”

3 Your people are wonderful,
    and they make me happy,[a]
4 but worshipers of other gods
    will have much sorrow.[b]
I refuse to offer sacrifices
of blood to those gods
    or worship in their name.
