תהילים 16
| מִכְתָּם לְדָוִד שָֽׁמְרֵנִי אֵל כִּֽי־חָסִיתִי בָֽךְ׃ | 1 |
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
| אָמַרְתְּ לַֽיהוָה אֲדֹנָי אָתָּה טוֹבָתִי בַּל־עָלֶֽיךָ׃ | 2 |
I said to Jehovah, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
| לִקְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָרֶץ הֵמָּה וְאַדִּירֵי כָּל־חֶפְצִי־בָֽם׃ | 3 |
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
| יִרְבּוּ עַצְּבוֹתָם אַחֵר מָהָרוּ בַּל־אַסִּיךְ נִסְכֵּיהֶם מִדָּם וּֽבַל־אֶשָּׂא אֶת־שְׁמוֹתָם עַל־שְׂפָתָֽי׃ | 4 |
Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
| יְֽהוָה מְנָת־חֶלְקִי וְכוֹסִי אַתָּה תּוֹמִיךְ גּוֹרָלִֽי׃ | 5 |
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
| חֲבָלִים נָֽפְלוּ־לִי בַּנְּעִמִים אַף־נַחֲלָת שָֽׁפְרָה עָלֽ͏ָי׃ | 6 |
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
| אֲבָרֵךְ אֶת־יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר יְעָצָנִי אַף־לֵילוֹת יִסְּרוּנִי כִלְיוֹתָֽי׃ | 7 |
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
| שִׁוִּיתִי יְהוָה לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד כִּי מִֽימִינִי בַּל־אֶמּֽוֹט׃ | 8 |
I have put Jehovah before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
| לָכֵן ׀ שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף־בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶֽטַח׃ | 9 |
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
| כִּי ׀ לֹא־תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹֽא־תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָֽׁחַת׃ (Sheol h7585) | 10 |
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
| תּֽוֹדִיעֵנִי אֹרַח חַיִּים שֹׂבַע שְׂמָחוֹת אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ נְעִמוֹת בִּימִינְךָ נֶֽצַח׃ | 11 |
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
