Psalms 16:2 Context
1[Michtam of Dauid.] Preserue me, O God: for in thee doe I put my trust. 2O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodnes extendeth not to thee: 3But to the Saints, that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 4Their sorrowes shalbe multiplied, that hasten after another God: their drinke offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take vp their names into my lippes.
