Psalms 16:5

ContentmentGod's faithfulnessIdentity and self-worth

3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.

7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
