New International Version  
Psalm 15
A psalm of David.
1LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?
2He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart
3and has no slander on his tongue,
who does his neighbor no wrong
and casts no slur on his fellowman,
4who despises a vile man
but honors those who fear the LORD,
who keeps his oath
even when it hurts,
5who lends his money without usury
and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things
will never be shaken.
Psalm 16
A miktamTitle: Probably a literary or musical term of David.
1Keep me safe, O God,
for in you I take refuge.
2I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”
3As for the saints who are in the land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.Or As for the pagan priests who are in the land / and the nobles in whom all delight, I said:
4The sorrows of those will increase
who run after other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood
or take up their names on my lips.
5LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10because you will not abandon me to the grave,Hebrew Sheol
nor will you let your Holy OneOr your faithful one see decay.
11You have madeOr You will make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 17
A prayer of David.
1Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea;
listen to my cry.
Give ear to my prayer—
it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2May my vindication come from you;
may your eyes see what is right.
3Though you probe my heart and examine me at night,
though you test me, you will find nothing;
I have resolved that my mouth will not sin.
4As for the deeds of men—
by the word of your lips
I have kept myself
from the ways of the violent.
5My steps have held to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
6I call on you, O God, for you will answer me;
give ear to me and hear my prayer.
7Show the wonder of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
9from the wicked who assail me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10They close up their callous hearts,
and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11They have tracked me down, they now surround me,
with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12They are like a lion hungry for prey,
like a great lion crouching in cover.
13Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down;
rescue me from the wicked by your sword.
14O LORD, by your hand save me from such men,
from men of this world whose reward is in this life.
You still the hunger of those you cherish;
their sons have plenty,
and they store up wealth for their children.
15And I—in righteousness I will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
