Psalm 16:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² I have said to the Lord,
    ‘You are my Lord.
All the good things that I have in my life
    are gifts from you.’
³ When I think about your own people who live in this land,
    it makes me happy!
    They are truly great people!
⁴ But many troubles will come
    to people who choose to worship other gods.
I will not join with them
    to offer gifts of blood to their gods.
I will never use the names of their gods
    to make promises.
