I have set the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad,
and my whole being[a] rejoices.
Even my flesh will dwell securely
10     because you will not abandon my life to the grave.
    You will not let your favored one[b] see decay.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 16:9 Literally my glory. A few manuscripts read liver, which in Hebrew idiom parallels heart as a center of emotion.
  2. Psalm 16:10 The Hebrew word hasid refers to a person who receives favor or distributes mercy. Here it refers to Christ, but it is not capitalized because it does not become one of his messianic titles.
