Psalms 16
1 “A Michtham of David.” Preserve me, O God; for I have placed my trust in thee.
Miiktaamii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, ani kooluu sitti galeeraatii, ati na eegi.
2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my happiness is not without thee;
Anis Waaqayyoon, “Ati Gooftaa koo ti; ani si malee gaarummaa hin qabu” nan jedha.
3 [But] in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent—in them is all my delight.
Qulqulloonni lafa irraa garuu ulfina qabeeyyii dha; anis isaanitti baayʼee nan gammada.
4 Multiplied shall be the sorrows of those who give presents to another god: I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor bear their names upon my lips.
Warra waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼan, gaddi isaanii ni guddata. Dhibaayyuu dhiigaa ani isaaniif hin dhibaafadhu; yookaan afaan kootiin maqaa isaanii hin dhaʼu.
5 Thou, O Lord, art the portion of my inheritance, and my cup; thou hast drawn my lot.
Waaqayyo qooda dhaala kootii fi qooda xoofoo koo ti; ixaa koos situ naa jiraachisa.
6 My possessions are fallen in agreeable places: yea, my heritage is pleasant to me.
Funyoon daangaa iddoo gaarii naa buʼeera; dhugumaan ani dhaala nama gammachiisu qaba.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: also in the night seasons my reins admonish me.
Waaqayyo isa na gorsu sana ani nan jajadha; halkanis yaadni koo na qajeelcha.
8 I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
Ani yeroo hunda fuula koo duraa Waaqayyoon qaba. Waan inni mirga koo jiruuf ani hin raafamu.
9 Therefore is rejoiced my heart, and my spirit is glad: also my flesh shall rest in safety.
Kanaaf garaan koo ni gammada; arrabni koos ni ililcha; foon koos nagaadhaan jiraata;
10 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the grave: thou wilt not suffer thy pious [servant] to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
ati siiʼool keessatti na hin dhiiftuutii, yookaan amanamaan kee akka tortoru hin gootu. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt let me know the path of life: fulness of joy is in thy presence; pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
Ati karaa jireenyaa na barsiifta; fuula kee durattis gammachuudhaan na guutta; gara mirga keetii gammachuu bara baraatu jira.
