< תהילים 16 >
מִכְתָּם לְדָוִד שׇֽׁמְרֵנִי אֵל כִּֽי־חָסִיתִי בָֽךְ׃ | 1 |
A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
אָמַרְתְּ לַֽיהֹוָה אֲדֹנָי אָתָּה טוֹבָתִי בַּל־עָלֶֽיךָ׃ | 2 |
I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from you.
לִקְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָרֶץ הֵמָּה וְאַדִּירֵי כׇּל־חֶפְצִי־בָֽם׃ | 3 |
As for the holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; all my delight is in them.
יִרְבּוּ עַצְּבוֹתָם אַחֵר מָהָרוּ בַּל־אַסִּיךְ נִסְכֵּיהֶם מִדָּם וּֽבַל־אֶשָּׂא אֶת־שְׁמוֹתָם עַל־שְׂפָתָֽי׃ | 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.
יְֽהֹוָה מְנָת־חֶלְקִי וְכוֹסִי אַתָּה תּוֹמִיךְ גּוֹרָלִֽי׃ | 5 |
Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto my lot.
חֲבָלִים נָֽפְלוּ־לִי בַּנְּעִמִים אַף־נַחֲלָת שָֽׁפְרָה עָלָֽי׃ | 6 |
Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
אֲבָרֵךְ אֶת־יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר יְעָצָנִי אַף־לֵילוֹת יִסְּרוּנִי כִלְיוֹתָֽי׃ | 7 |
I will bless Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
שִׁוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד כִּי מִֽימִינִי בַּל־אֶמּֽוֹט׃ | 8 |
I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
לָכֵן ׀ שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף־בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶֽטַח׃ | 9 |
Therefore my heart is glad; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
כִּי ׀ לֹא־תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹֽא־תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָֽׁחַת׃ (Sheol ) | 10 |
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (Sheol )
תּֽוֹדִיעֵנִי אֹרַח חַיִּים שֹׂבַע שְׂמָחוֹת אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ נְעִמוֹת בִּימִינְךָ נֶֽצַח׃ | 11 |
You teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in your right hand forever!”
