< Psalms 16 >

1 A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِحْفَظْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ.١
2 I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from you.
قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي. خَيْرِي لَا شَيْءَ غَيْرُكَ».٢
3 As for the holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; all my delight is in them.
ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَفَاضِلُ كُلُّ مَسَرَّتِي بِهِمْ.٣
4 Their troubles will be increased, those who seek out other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods or lift up their names with my lips.
تَكْثُرُ أَوْجَاعُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَعُوا وَرَاءَ آخَرَ. لَا أَسْكُبُ سَكَائِبَهُمْ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ.٤
5 Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto my lot.
ٱلرَّبُّ نَصِيبُ قِسْمَتِي وَكَأْسِي. أَنْتَ قَابِضُ قُرْعَتِي.٥
6 Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
حِبَالٌ وَقَعَتْ لِي فِي ٱلنُّعَمَاءِ، فَٱلْمِيرَاثُ حَسَنٌ عِنْدِي.٦
7 I will bless Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي نَصَحَنِي، وَأَيْضًا بِٱللَّيْلِ تُنْذِرُنِي كُلْيَتَايَ.٧
8 I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
جَعَلْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ.٨
9 Therefore my heart is glad; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي، وَٱبْتَهَجَتْ رُوحِي. جَسَدِي أَيْضًا يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنًّا.٩
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تَقِيَّكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا. (Sheol h7585)١٠
11 You teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in your right hand forever!”
تُعَرِّفُنِي سَبِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. أَمَامَكَ شِبَعُ سُرُورٍ. فِي يَمِينِكَ نِعَمٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.١١
