Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
4 Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.
They will increase sorrows their [those who] another [god] they hurried after not I will pour out drink offerings their from blood and not I will take names their on lips my.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
8 I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
You will make known to me [the] path of life abundance of gladness [are] with presence your pleasant [things] [are] at right [hand] your perpetuity.
