Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
Psalmus 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 eius, 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.
Multiplicatae 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 hereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es, qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris: etenim hereditas mea praeclara 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 laetatum est cor meum, et exultavit 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 vitae, adimplebis me laetitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.
