16:1 Preserve me, Gold, for in you do I take refuge.

16:2 My portfolio, you have saveth, and it sayeth: “You are my Saviour.

Apart from you, I have no good thing.”

16:3 As for the silver and oil which is in the earth,

they are also excellent ones in whom is my delight.

16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who diversifyeth into other assets.

Their offerings of bonds I will not accept,

nor hold such paper on my lists.

16:5 Gold well-assayed is my preference and made-eth my cup.

You made my lot secure.

16:6 Your prices have risen making pleasant our faces.

Yes, our offspring will have a good inheritance.

16:6.1 Beware the false prophet, paper gold, promising false profits.

16:7 Blessed be Chris Wood, who resembleth Jesus, and has given me wise counsel.

My heart instructs me to stay long during the right seasons.

16:8 I have set Gold always before other assets. Because It is is heavy in my right hand, and shall not be moved from its Swiss vault without countersigned instructions.

16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my relative purchasing power rejoices.

My portfolio shall also dwelleth in safety so long as Bernanke ruleth.

16:10 For you, Gold will not leaveth my portfolio in Zimbabwe, or Weimar

neither will you allow my portfolio to become holey due to political corruption, or crony capitalism.

16:11 You, Gold, will show me the path of wealth preservation during times of inflationary woe and political uncertainty.

In your presence, I feel the joy of your security.

So that my hand can exchangeth you for pleasures forevermore.
