< Psalms 16 >

1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
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.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
