II

I bless the Lord who counsels me;
    even at night my heart exhorts me.
I keep the Lord always before me;
    with him at my right hand, I shall never be shaken.(A)
Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices;
    my body also dwells secure,
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
    nor let your devout one see the pit.[a](B)
11 You will show me the path to life,
    abounding joy in your presence,
    the delights at your right hand forever.

  1. 16:10 Nor let your devout one see the pit: Hebrew shahath means here the pit, a synonym for Sheol, the underworld. The Greek translation derives the word here and elsewhere from the verb shahath, “to be corrupt.” On the basis of the Greek, Acts 2:25–32; 13:35–37 apply the verse to Christ’s resurrection, “Nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.”

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;(A)
    even at night(B) my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
    With him at my right hand,(C) I will not be shaken.(D)

Therefore my heart is glad(E) and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,(F)
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,(G)
    nor will you let your faithful[a] one(H) see decay.(I)
11 You make known to me the path of life;(J)
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,(K)
    with eternal pleasures(L) at your right hand.(M)
