Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
4 The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of 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 the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
