Psalm 16:3-5
Contemporary English Version

3 Your people are wonderful,
    and they make me happy,[a]
4 but worshipers of other gods
    will have much sorrow.[b]
I refuse to offer sacrifices
of blood to those gods
    or worship in their name.

5 You, Lord, are all I want!
You are my choice,
    and you keep me safe.
