Psalms 16:2

I say to the Lord (Yahweh): "You are my Lord (Adonai),
I have no good (no happiness, joy, wealth) apart from you."
[The psalmist expresses his complete dependence on God. There is no room here for compromise or religious syncretism. The word "good" encompasses everything from moral goodness to material prosperity. Hos. There is goodness, joy, happiness, pleasure, and everything that is beautiful and wonderful.]
