As for the holy people who are in the land,(A)
they are the noble ones.
All my delight is in them.
The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,

Lord, You are my portion[a]
and my cup of blessing;
You hold my future.(C)

  1. Psalm 16:5 Or allotted portion

I say of the holy people(A) who are in the land,(B)
    “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
Those who run after other gods(C) will suffer(D) more and more.
    I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
    or take up their names(E) on my lips.

Lord, you alone are my portion(F) and my cup;(G)
    you make my lot(H) secure.
