< 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 h7585) 10
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
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!”
