1Preserve me, O God,
2I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
3As for the saints in the land,
4Sorrows will multiply

6The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places;
7I will bless the LORD who counsels me;
8I have set 16:8 LXX I foresaw the LORD always before me.
9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
11You have made known to me the path of life;
