< 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 in te speravi
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
dixi Domino Dominus 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 eius mirificavit mihi; 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.
multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum postea adceleraverunt 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 hereditatis meae et calicis mei tu es qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris etenim hereditas mea praeclara est mihi
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
benedicam Domino qui tribuit mihi intellectum insuper et usque ad noctem increpaverunt 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 laetatum est cor meum et exultavit 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 )
quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem (Sheol )
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 vitae adimplebis me laetitia cum vultu tuo delectatio in dextera tua usque in finem
