Psalm 16:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
3 As for the saints[a] who are in the land,
they are the noble ones,
and in them there is all my delight.
4 Those who chase after other gods
only multiply their sorrows.
Never will I pour out libations of blood to them,
nor will I take up their names[b] on my lips.
Footnotes
- Psalm 16:3 Another possible translation is: “As for the gods who are in the land / and the lofty ones, / I take no delight in them.” Saints: i.e., the godly who live on earth as opposed to the angelic beings who are heavenly. See notes on Pss 4:4; 34:10.
- Psalm 16:4 Take up their names: that is, appeal to or worship them (see Jos 23:7).
