Psalms 16
1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on 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 heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
