Psalm 15
A pillar inscription; by David
Preserve me, O Lord, because I hope in You.
I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; You have no need of my good things.”
To the saints on His earth, In them He magnified all His will.
Their diseases were multiplied; They hastened after these things; I will not join in their assemblies of blood, Nor will I remember their names with my lips.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You are He who restores my inheritance to me.
Portions fell to me among the best, And my inheritance is the very finest.
I will bless the Lord who caused me to understand; Moreover, until night my reins also instructed me.
I saw the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
Therefore my heart was glad, And my tongue rejoiced exceedingly; My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
For You will not abandon my soul to Hades nor allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
You made known to me the ways of life; You will fill me with gladness in Your presence; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
