Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
Un poema de David. Presérvame, Dios, porque me refugio en ti.
2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
Alma mía, tú has dicho a Yahvé: “Tú eres mi Señor. Aparte de ti no tengo nada bueno”.
3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
En cuanto a los santos que están en la tierra, ellos son los excelentes en quienes está todo mi deleite.
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.
Se multiplicarán las penas de los que dan regalos a otro dios. No ofreceré sus libaciones de sangre, ni tomar sus nombres en mis labios.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
Yahvé asignó mi porción y mi copa. Hiciste que mi suerte fuera segura.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
Las líneas me han caído en lugares agradables. Sí, tengo una buena herencia.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
Bendeciré a Yahvé, que me ha aconsejado. Sí, mi corazón me instruye en las estaciones nocturnas.
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.
He puesto a Yahvé siempre delante de mí. Porque él está a mi derecha, no seré conmovido.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
Por eso mi corazón se alegra y mi lengua se regocija. Mi cuerpo también habitará en seguridad.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Porque no dejarás mi alma en el Seol, ni permitirás que tu santo vea la corrupción. (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.
Me mostrarás el camino de la vida. En tu presencia hay plenitud de alegría. En tu mano derecha hay placeres para siempre.
