Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 16
1Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 2[O my soul], thou hast said to the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; 3[But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight. 4Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips. 5The LORD [is] the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant [places]; yes, I have a goodly heritage. 7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season. 8I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. 11Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fullness of joy; at thy right hand [are] pleasures for evermore.
