Psalm 16 When in the Night I Meditate
1. When in the night I meditate
On mercies multiplied,
My grateful heart inspires my tongue
To bless the Lord, my guide.
2. Forever in my thought the Lord
Before my face shall stand;
Secure, unmoved I shall remain,
With God at my right hand.
3. My inmost being thrills with joy
And gladness fills my breast;
Because on God my trust is stayed,
My flesh in hope shall rest.
4. I know that I shall not be left
Forgotten in the grave,
And from corruption, Thou, O Lord,
Thy holy one wilt save.
5. The path of life Thou showest me;
Of joy a boundless store
Is ever found at Thy right hand,
And pleasures evermore.
