Lent Reading: Joy in God's presence. Psalm 16:7-11

I will bless the LORD who has counseled me;

         Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

    I have set the LORD continually before me;

         Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

    Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;

         My flesh also will dwell securely.

    For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;

         Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

    You will make known to me the path of life;

         In Your presence is fullness of joy;

         In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
