Psalm 16:2-4
Common English Bible
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord.
Apart from you, I have nothing good.”
3 Now as for the “holy ones” in the land,
the “magnificent ones” that I was so happy about;
4 let their suffering increase because
they hurried after a different god.[a]
I won’t participate in their blood offerings;
I won’t let their names cross my lips.
