Psalms 16:8
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.
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.
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
