Psalms 16:4 in Context — Psalms 16
2 Dijiste, [oh alma mía], á Jehová: Tú eres el Señor: mi bien á ti no [aprovecha];
3 [Sino] á los santos que están en la tierra, y á los íntegros: toda mi afición en ellos.
4 Multiplicaránse los dolores de aquellos que sirven diligentes á otro [dios]: no ofreceré yo sus libaciones de sangre, ni en mis labios tomaré sus nombres.
5 Jehová es la porción de mi parte y de mi copa; tú sustentarás mi suerte.
6 Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares deleitosos, y es hermosa la heredad que me ha tocado.
