es: for my inheritance
is goodly to me.

15:7. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover,
my reins also have corrected me even till night.

15:8. I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand,
that I be not moved.

15:9. Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced:
moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

15:10. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give
thy holy one to see corruption.

15:11. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me
with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to
the end.

Psalms Chapter 16

Exaudi, Domine, justitiam.

A just man's prayer in tribulation against the malice of his enemy.

16:1. The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my
supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from
deceitful lips.

16:2. Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes
behold the things that are equitable.

16:3. Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast
tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.

16:4. That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the
words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.

16:5. Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not
moved.

16:6. I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline
thy ear unto me, and hear my words.

16:7. Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust
in thee.

16:8. From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy
eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.

16:9. From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have
surrounded my soul:

16:10. They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.

Their fat... That is, their bowels of compassion: for they have none for
me.

16:11. They have cast me forth, and now they have surrounded me: they
have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.

16:12. They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a
young lion dwelling in secret places.

16:13. Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul
from the wicked one; thy sword

16:14. From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of
the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores.
They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the
rest of their substance
