Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
4 Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
5 O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.
Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
10 For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
