Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. 8 I have set the Lord always before me; ecause he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. 10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. 11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. ~ Psalm 16
When we dig deep into God's Word, we will find ultimate and eternal satisfaction. Nothing here on earth will bring you joy; only a genuine relationship with the perfect, unfailing, loving Jesus will!
Although my first preference is English Standard Version (ESV) (that's what I normally use for Bible verses that you see here on my blog), I like this verse in King James Version (KJV):
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. ~ Psalm 16:9
Instead of "rest in peace," it's rest in hope. Wow, that's awesome!
