Psalms 16:10
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
