Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
Guárdame, oh Dios, porque en ti he puesto mi fe.
2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
Oh alma mía, dijiste al Señor: Tú eres mi Señor; mi bien, nada es comparable a ti.
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, y los íntegros 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 aumentarán sus dolores, quienes irán tras otro dios; jamás seré parte de sus sacrificios sangrientos! ni pronunciaré sus nombres con mis labios.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
Tú Señor eres la porción de mi herencia y de mi copa, Tú me colmas de bendiciones, mi vida está en tus manos.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
Justos son los lugares marcados para mí; la herencia que me ha tocado ha sido un patrimonio hermoso.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
Alabaré al Señor que ha sido mi guía; y en lo íntimo de mi ser me corrige por las noches.
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 al Señor delante de mí todo el tiempo; porque él está en mi diestra, nada me hará caer.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
Debido a esto, mi corazón está contento, y se gozó mi alma, mi ser descansa confiadamente también.
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 él sepulcro; no dejarás que tu santo vea 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; donde estás, la alegría está completa; en tu diestra hay placeres, dichas, delicias por los siglos de los siglos.
