The Path of Life | I Shall Not Be Moved | Psalm 16 Song

🕊️ Psalm 16 is a declaration of trust, joy, and eternal security in the presence of God. David speaks from a place of complete dependence on Yahweh, knowing that apart from Him there is no good thing. This psalm contrasts the blessings of those who remain faithful to the Lord with the sorrows of those who chase after other gods.

David celebrates God as his portion and cup—the One who holds his life secure. The “pleasant places” and “good inheritance” are not just land or material blessings; they represent the spiritual treasures of belonging to God and living in His presence.

Verses 8–11 are especially prophetic, pointing to the Messiah: “You will not abandon my soul in Sheol, nor allow your Holy One to see corruption.” This was fulfilled in Jesus Christ’s resurrection, proving His victory over death and confirming the promise of eternal life for all who trust in Him.

Psalm 16 closes with one of the most joyful declarations in all of Scripture: “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” It reminds us that true joy, security, and purpose are found only in walking with God—not just in this life, but forever.

📖 Psalm 16 (WEB)

1 Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

🎙️ Lyrics – The Path of Life (I Shall Not Be Moved)

[Intro]
In You I hide, in You I stand
My portion, my shelter, the strength of my hand

[Verse 1]
Preserve me, O God—I run to You now
No good have I apart from Your vow
Your saints are my joy, they shine in the land
But those who chase idols—won’t understand

I won’t speak their names, or lift up their lies
Their sorrows increase; their souls compromise
But You, Yahweh, are my portion, my cup
You hold my lot when the world gives up

[Chorus]
You show me the path of life
In Your presence there’s fullness of joy
At Your right hand, pleasures forevermore
I shall not be moved—I am secure

[Verse 2]
The lines have fallen in pleasant ways
A beautiful inheritance marks my days
Even in night, my heart speaks clear
Your counsel, O Lord, draws ever near

I have set You always before my face
At my right hand stands Your grace
Therefore my heart is glad and sings
And even my flesh rests in holy things

[Bridge]
You won’t abandon my soul to decay
You won’t let Your Holy One fade away
Resurrection promise, burning bright
You overcame death with eternal light

[Final Chorus]
You show me the path of life
In Your presence there’s fullness of joy
At Your right hand, pleasures forevermore
I shall not be moved—I am secure

[Outro]
…In Your presence… joy forevermore…
