< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
tituli inscriptio ipsi David conserva me Domine quoniam in te speravi
2 I have said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
dixi Domino Dominus meus es tu quoniam bonorum meorum non eges
3 As for the saints that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
sanctis qui sunt in terra eius mirificavit mihi; omnes voluntates meas in eis
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that exchange [the LORD] for another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum postea adceleraverunt non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea
5 The LORD is 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, my reins instruct me in the night seasons.
benedicam Domino qui tribuit mihi intellectum insuper et usque ad noctem increpaverunt me renes mei
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because 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 shall dwell in safety.
propter hoc laetatum est cor meum et exultavit lingua mea insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol )
quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol )
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
notas mihi fecisti vias vitae adimplebis me laetitia cum vultu tuo delectatio in dextera tua usque in finem
