Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. [Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol h7585)
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.]
