Psalms 16:5 in Context — Psalms 16

3 [Mas] aos santos que [estão] na terra, e [a] os ilustres, nos quais está todo o meu prazer.

4 As dores se multiplicarão daqueles que se apressam [para servir] a outros [deuses] ; eu não oferecerei seus sacrifícios de derramamento de sangue, e não tomarei seus nomes em meus lábios.

5 O SENHOR é a porção da minha herança e o meu cálice; tu sustentas a minha sorte.

6 Em lugares agradáveis foram postos os limites [do meu terreno] ; sim, eu recebo uma bela propriedade.

7 Eu louvarei ao SENHOR, que me aconselhou; até de noite meus sentimentos me ensinam.
