< Psalms 16 >

1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِحْفَظْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ.١
2 I said to YHWH, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي. خَيْرِي لَا شَيْءَ غَيْرُكَ».٢
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَفَاضِلُ كُلُّ مَسَرَّتِي بِهِمْ.٣
4 Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
تَكْثُرُ أَوْجَاعُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَعُوا وَرَاءَ آخَرَ. لَا أَسْكُبُ سَكَائِبَهُمْ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ.٤
5 YHWH is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
ٱلرَّبُّ نَصِيبُ قِسْمَتِي وَكَأْسِي. أَنْتَ قَابِضُ قُرْعَتِي.٥
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
حِبَالٌ وَقَعَتْ لِي فِي ٱلنُّعَمَاءِ، فَٱلْمِيرَاثُ حَسَنٌ عِنْدِي.٦
7 I will bless YHWH, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي نَصَحَنِي، وَأَيْضًا بِٱللَّيْلِ تُنْذِرُنِي كُلْيَتَايَ.٧
8 I have put YHWH before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
جَعَلْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ.٨
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي، وَٱبْتَهَجَتْ رُوحِي. جَسَدِي أَيْضًا يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنًّا.٩
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تَقِيَّكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا. (Sheol h7585)١٠
11 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
تُعَرِّفُنِي سَبِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. أَمَامَكَ شِبَعُ سُرُورٍ. فِي يَمِينِكَ نِعَمٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.١١
