< Psalms 16 >
1 A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
`Of the meke and symple, the salm of Dauid. Lord, kepe thou me, for Y haue hopid in thee;
2 You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
Y seide to the Lord, Thou art my God, for thou hast no nede of my goodis.
3 To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
To the seyntis that ben in the lond of hym; he made wondurful alle my willis in hem.
4 They will increase sorrows their [those who] another [god] they hurried after not I will pour out drink offerings their from blood and not I will take names their on lips my.
The sikenessis of hem ben multiplied; aftirward thei hastiden. I schal not gadire togidere the conuenticulis, `ethir litle couentis, of hem of bloodis; and Y schal not be myndeful of her names bi my lippis.
5 Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
The Lord is part of myn eritage, and of my passion; thou art, that schalt restore myn eritage to me.
6 Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
Coordis felden to me in ful clere thingis; for myn eritage is ful cleer to me.
7 I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
I schal blesse the Lord, that yaf vndurstondyng to me; ferthermore and my reynes blameden me `til to nyyt.
8 I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
I purueide euere the Lord in my siyt; for he is on the riythalf to me, that Y be not moued.
9 Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
For this thing myn herte was glad, and my tunge ioyede fulli; ferthermore and my fleisch schal reste in hope.
10 For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol )
For thou schalt not forsake my soule in helle; nether thou schalt yyue thin hooli to se corrupcioun. (Sheol )
11 You will make known to me [the] path of life abundance of gladness [are] with presence your pleasant [things] [are] at right [hand] your perpetuity.
Thou hast maad knowun to me the weies of lijf; thou schalt fille me of gladnesse with thi cheer; delityngis ben in thi riythalf `til in to the ende.
