NAU Psalm 16:1 <A Mikhtam of David.>

I.	Preservation in none other

A.	1 Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.

B.	2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You."

II.	Saints joyful and sinners insecure:

A.	3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. (Something to crow about)

B.	4 The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; (another god? sorrow)

III.	Support only from Yahweh (I won't)

A.	I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

IV.	Boundaries

A.	5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot.

B.	6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

III'.	Support only from Yahweh (I will)

A.	7 I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

II'.	Saints joyful and secure

B.	8 I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. (Yahweh only? Security)

A.	9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. (Something to crow about)

I'.	Preservation in none other

A.	10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

B.	11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

This psalm contrasts sorrow and solidity. Joy is in Yahweh's consistency and boundaries. Sorrow is in other gods.
