Well, it's never a bad time to soak in the glorious truths of Psalm 16, and that's what we're

going to do today in a clip from 2015.

This clip comes from a memorable sermon titled The Path to Full and Lasting Pleasure.

The clip begins where the sermon begins, with John Piper walking out on stage at a

shame and shame conference.

Their Pastor John recited Psalm 16 from Heart.

This text and this sermon was fresh on his heart, coming in light of pretty deep sorrow

for the Bethlehem community, as you will hear in a moment, making for a clip and for

a sermon and for an event that has impacted many of you, I know.

Without any further introduction, here's Pastor John reciting Psalm 16.

You deserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

I say to the Lord, you are my Lord, I have no good part from you.

As for the saints in the land, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

Those who choose another God multiply their sorrows.

Their libations of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips.

The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup.

You hold my lot.

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.

Indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel, in that I also, my heart, instructs me because

you are right at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Before, my heart is glad and my soul rejoices and my whole body dwells secure.
