< Psalmorum 16 >
1 Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. [Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Multiplicatæ sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt. Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Dominus pars hæreditatis meæ, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hæreditatem meam mihi.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 Funes ceciderunt mihi in præclaris; etenim hæreditas mea præclara est mihi.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 Benedicam Dominum qui tribuit mihi intellectum; insuper et usque ad noctem increpuerunt me renes mei.
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear.
I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea; insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe.
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
10 Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Sheol )
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
11 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ; adimplebis me lætitia cum vultu tuo: delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem.]
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
