Psalm 16 (WEBP)

[1] Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
[2] My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
[3] As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
[4] Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
[5] Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
[6] The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
[7] I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
[8] I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
[9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
[10] For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
[11] You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

Psalm 16:10 Sheol is the place of the dead.
