Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
10 For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
