Psalms 16
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
Tituli inscriptio ipsi David. Conserva me Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
Sanctis, qui sunt in terra eius, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus: nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
Dominus pars hereditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es, qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi.
6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris: etenim hereditas mea præclara est mihi.
7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
Benedicam Dominum, qui tribuit mihi intellectum: insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea: insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno: nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ, adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
