Psalms 16
1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. [Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
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.
Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (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!
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.]
